Please note that our school is NOT an SAT/ACT testing site, choose from the list that is provided on the SAT/ACT site.

SAT scores help colleges/universities compare students from different high schools. Your scores show your strengths and readiness for college work. Many colleges publicize the average SAT score of their admitted students. This allows you to see how your score compares with those of the students at the colleges you are considering. It allows you to consider other colleges that have similar test-score distributions. These standardized test scores are just one part of your college application. Additionally, colleges will look at your grades, course rigor, and teacher recommendations.

The ACT is important to colleges/universities because admissions officers use it to judge your academic preparedness for college. In addition to being a college admissions exam, the ACT includes a profile and education/career planning section to help you plan for life after high school. You will receive personalized career information and develop a comprehensive profile that tells colleges about your work in high school and future plans.
