If you have not passed FCAT Read and/or Math, we accept concordant scores from ACT or SAT for FCAT graduation requirement. See your Guidance Counselor for more details.
FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING FREE or REDUCED LUNCH
You may receive a total of 2 ACT and 2 SAT waivers as long as you meet qualification guidelines and waivers are available. (This is a combined total of your junoir and senior year) Once you have used an ACT or SAT waiver, you qualify to receive up to four college application fee waivers, as well as a fee waiver for the NCAA registration fee.
BE AWARE
Once you have registered for an ACT or SAT test using a fee waiver, this counts as one of your fee waivers, even if you miss the test.
ACT Information
The ACT helps you plan for your future.
In addition to the tests, the ACT also provides you with a unique Interest Inventory and a Student Profile Section.
By responding to those sections, which ask about your interests, courses, and educational preferences, you provide a profile of your work in high school and your career choices to colleges.
Optional Writing Test.
Because not all colleges require a writing test for admission, ACT offers you the choice of whether or not you want to spend the extra time and money taking the writing test.
Writing is an important skill for college and work, but schools use different methods to measure your writing skills.
Some colleges require the writing test; others do not.
You should decide whether or not to take the writing test based on the requirements of the colleges you are applying to or considering.

SAT Information
Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year in high school.
At least half of all students take the SAT twice- in the spring of their junior year and in the fall of their senior year.
Most students also improve their score the second time around.
For the SAT Subject Tests™, most students take them toward the end of their junior year or at the beginning of their senior year.
In general, you should take tests such as World History, Biology E/M, Chemistry or Physics as soon as possible after completing the course in the subject.
Students tend to do better on other tests like languages after at least two years of study.
