Testing
Testing
Different post-secondary institutions have different entrance requirements. Some 4-year colleges and universities may require students to submit SAT or ACT scores. Some 4-year colleges and universities may not require standardized testing and/or may be test optional. Test optional means that the student is able to decide if they want to take and submit any standardized test scores. We have provided a list of tests and test dates below for your information.
