SAT/ACT
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE THE SAT/ACT?
Students should take their college entrance exam (SAT/ACT) as close to the completion of Math III (Algebra II) and English III as possible. Even if that means they take it multiple times.
ACT
Most colleges accept either the ACT or the SAT, please check with specific colleges you are applying to for any exceptions.
This means that the free ACT you take as a Junior at Croatan will count as your college entrance exam.
