Testing

All colleges and universities accept either the ACT or SAT for college admissions purposes.  Links to these sites are below.  In addition to administering the SAT, College Board also administers Subject Tests and AP examinations.  Students are advised to consider both of these tests as possibilities, the exams test different abilities so many students will do better on one or the other.  Call your child’s counselors or consult one of the College Counselors for advice on which to take.

Taking Fall Tests

All students can continue to take testing through September and feel comfortable that they will have their scores in time to apply to any college in which they may be interested. For test dates in October and beyond you will need to check on your school's deadlines to see if later testing can be utilized.

To get a list of possible exam dates, or if you are finished testing and wish to report your scores to your colleges, visit the appropriate testing website:

Test-Optional Schools

The vast majority of schools in the United States are test-optional, meaning testing is not required as part of the admissions process. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as some state-wide systems like the Florida public universities, some specific schools that are more STEM focused, such as MIT and Purdue, or for direct admission to a specific major, often the STEM focused ones such as nursing or engineering. You should check with the schools you are interested in for their specific testing policy but, again, the vast majority are test-optional.
