Testing

With a few exceptions, most colleges require either an SAT or ACT, and most also require two SAT subject tests. The ACT was traditionally administered in the Midwest, but it is now common on the East Coast as well. Colleges accept either test, without exception.

ACT

The ACT is gaining popularity on the East Coast. Unlike the SAT, which is designed to measure reasoning and critical thinking skills, the ACT is designed to measure academic achievement in English, math, reading, and science. The ACT has an optional writing component for which students must register. Students are eligible for up to two fee-waivers for the ACT.

PSAT

The Preliminary SAT is designed to familiarize students with the SAT test and to identify exceptional students for the National Merit Scholars program. Students who excel at the PSAT can earn scholarships and opportunities that will benefit them in college. The test is administered by the district in the fall of sophomore year and the fall of Year 1.

SAT

The SAT includes three sections: Verbal, Math and Writing. Each section is scored from 200–800 points. The Writing component has a student written essay that is scored from 1–6 points. The SAT is offered seven times per academic year. Students are eligible for up to three fee-waivers for the SAT. The test is administered by the district in school during the spring Year 1 and the fall of Year 2.
