About the SAT

The SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board.  SAT scores are used to gauge a high school student’s readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. Apart from the SAT score, your high school grades, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, admissions interviews, and personal essays are evaluated to arrive at an admission decision. Overall, the higher you score on the SAT and/or ACT, the more options for attending and paying for college will be available to you.

Benefits about ACT

  • The ACT multiple-choice tests are based on what you’re learning. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. The test questions on the ACT are directly related to what you have learned in your high school courses in English, mathematics, reading, and science. Every day you attend class you are preparing for the ACT. The harder you work in school, the more prepared you will be for the test.
  • The ACT helps you plan for your future. In addition to the tests, the ACT also provides you with a unique Interest Inventory and a Student Profile Section. By responding to these sections, which ask about your interests, courses, and educational preferences, you provide a profile of your work in high school and your career choices to universities.
  • The ACT helps institutions find you. By taking the ACT, you can make yourself visible to universities and scholarship agencies, through the Educational Opportunity Service another way to help you get ready for life after high school.
  • Your ACT score is based only on what you know. The ACT is the only national college admission test based on the number of correct answers—you are not penalized for guessing.
  • You choose which scores you send to universities. When you register for the ACT, you can choose up to four institutions to which ACT will send your scores as part of the basic fee for your test option. If you take the test more than once, you choose which test date results the universities will receive. ACT sends scores only for the test date you select.
  • Optional Writing Test. Because not all universities require a writing test for admission, ACT offers you the choice of whether or not you want to spend the extra time and money taking the writing test. Writing is an important skill for college and work, but schools use different methods to measure your writing skills..

The ACT is accepted by all 4-year universities in the United States.
