TESTING
Last spring, the counseling staff recommended that juniors sign up and register for either the ACT or SAT before 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 and/or SAT were taken in the spring, should one or both be repeated? In general, it is to the student’s advantage to retake either one or both of the tests. Why? Because colleges are looking to accept, rather than deny, applicants. They will usually make admissions decisions based on the highest ACT composite score or the highest SAT combined score. In addition, seniors who are applying to schools that have published admissions criteria, usually public institutions, have a good idea of their chances for admission. As a result, they can determine the necessity of retaking the test. ACT will allow students to pick the best test date to send, whereas the 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 online. (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.)
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.
