The SAT Reasoning Test is one of two college entrance exams required by most colleges and universities. The SAT tests verbal and mathematics reasoning skills, and writing ability. Scores range from 200 to 800 on each section. A score of 500 on each section is generally in the top 50%. The SAT is given on Saturdays 4 times a year. Registration with the College Board is required about six weeks in advance. Beginning in March 2023 the SAT will no longer be paper-based but digital. 

The College Board AP exams are given once a year, in May, during the school day. Each three-hour exam covers college level content in a specific course. The tests consist of both multiple choice and essay questions.  Scores range from 1-5, with most colleges awarding credit for scores of 3 or better. Registration takes place in early Fall of G12 year. 

The PSAT/NMSQT (known as the PSAT) is scheduled in October. It is administered at no charge to  juniors during the school day. It covers critical reading, writing, and math skills, and is a valuable predictor for success in higher-level courses, for future SAT scores, and for success in college.  Students take the PSAT as a predictor of future performance and as a guide to prepare for future administrations.
