As you prepare for college, you’ll encounter college entrance exams including the SAT and ACT. Student's usually take these exams during their junior year. Admissions requirements vary from school to school. Talk with your school counselor or contact your prospective schools when deciding which test to take.
The PSAT is offered each October to juniors and sophomores as preparation for the SAT. Sophomores that are interested in applying to the Governor's School for Science and Technology should plan to take the PSAT.
