The SAT and ACT are entrance exams used by many colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. In addition to a student's high school transcript, GPA, extracurricular activities and letters of recommendation, these standardized tests help colleges to make "apples to apples" comparisons between students applying from different high schools. The importance of standardized test scores differs from one University/College to another. As there is no one comprehensive list of which schools require standardized test scores, or the relative weight they attach to them, it is recommended that students refer to each University/College website for further information.
SAT School-Day Administration
All Juniors are required to take the SAT during the school day each spring for state-accountability purposes. The school-day administration for the class of 2025 is scheduled to take place April 2, 2024.
Both the SAT and ACT are offered multiple times a year; usually on Saturdays. Please follow the links below to register for Saturday administrations:
Each section of the SAT (EBRW & Math) is scored on a 200 to 800 point scale, making the "perfect" score 1600. Each section of the ACT (English, Math, Reading and Science) has a score of 1 to 36. Students also receive a composite ACT score, which is an average of these four tests. The composite score falls between 1 and 36.
Scores earned on either the SAT or ACT must be sent directly from the College Board or ACT to the colleges to which you are applying. Students may log into their College Board or ACTStudent account to request delivery of scores. Please note that both tests provide four "free" score reports if requested at the time of registration.
For a more comprehensive comparison of the two exams, you are encouraged to read the Princeton Review article here. The most significant difference is that the ACT has a specific science section, where as the SAT does not.
