College Admission Testing

  • Standardized tests (SAT & ACT) provide colleges with a common measure to help them make admission decisions.  Additionally, they are one indicator of a student’s readiness to do college-level work.  Test scores may also be used as a criterion for awarding merit-based financial aid.

 

  • The vast majority of higher education institutions accept both the SAT and the ACT for college admission and regard them as equally valid.

 

  • When students should take (or re-take) the ACT or SAT or both, depends on the students’ goals, whether it be individual college requirements, college placement, and/or Bright Futures Scholarship eligibility.  It is best for students to allow enough time to re-take a test if necessary.

 

  • Students register through the College Board or ACT web sites.

 

  • Fee waivers are available for students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch.  Students may request fee waivers in the BRACE office.
