College Preparatory & Admissions Tests
The ACT and the SAT are college admission tests that measure what students learn in high school to determine academic readiness for college. Most colleges and universities in the United Stated do not have a preference of one test over the other. However, the PSAT is used to determine candidates for the National Merit Scholarship Program
​Test scores are important part of the student’s portfolio to start their college application. In addition, college admissions take in consideration other requirements that include the student’s GPA (grade point average), academic rigor, community service activities, and other experiences and achievements.
​
Both the ACT and SAT are offered several times throughout the year.
