ACT / SAT College Exams

ACT / SAT College Entrance Exams

Four-year colleges, and some traditional two-year colleges that now offer four-year programs, require high school students to take either the SAT or ACT exam. Colleges will accept either exam as part of the college admission process. Scores necessary to obtain admission into a college varies depending on the selectivity of the college.
 
Students may register for one of these exams online. Students who register online will know immediately if they received their first test center choice; they can print out registration day exam tickets and can make changes online if there are any errors.
