TESTING

Last spring, the counseling staff recommended that juniors sign up and register for either the SAT Test and ACT prior to the end of their junior year. 

If a senior student did not sign up to take an entrance exam last spring, and they are planning to attend a college/university next fall, one or both of the tests (ACT, SAT) should be taken this fall.

If the ACT's and/or SAT's were taken in the spring, should one or both be repeated?  In general, it is to the student’s advantage to re-take either one or both of the tests. Why? Because colleges are looking to accept, not deny applicants. They will usually make admissions decisions based on the highest ACT composite score, or the highest SAT combined score of the Writing, Critical Reading, and Mathematics sections. In addition, seniors who are applying to schools that have published admissions criteria, usually public institutions, have a good idea of their chance for admission. As a result, they can determine the necessity of re-taking the test. ACT will allow students to pick the best test date to send, whereas SAT sends all tests taken.

A final note – it may also be to the student’s advantage to re-take a test, as many scholarships are awarded with a student’s ACT or SAT score being a piece of the criteria. The difference of one composite point on the ACT, may be the difference between a scholarship and no scholarship. Test registration can be done on the internet. (With deadlines fast approaching, remember that registering online is faster and the student will know immediately if there is room at the testing site he or she requests.) Please see the Testing page to see updated information on testing.

Counselors urge students to register early if they want to take the test here at the Edina testing site. If the Edina site is full, late registrations are assigned to other open sites. The possibility of stand-by testing here at Edina will also be very limited.
