Students should take the SAT and/or ACT in the spring of their junior year if they want to apply for college/technical school. For regular application deadlines, students should take one or both no later than Fall of their senior year. Most colleges will accept either the SAT or ACT for admission. Students may choose to try one test first and then the other to see which test they perform best on. Some colleges/technical schools do not require the SAT or ACT, instead offering the Accuplacer or similar entrance exam. Each school has its own minimum score requirement for the SAT and ACT. Students must contact schools they are interested in to determine which test must be taken and what the minimum acceptable score is.
