Students planning to attend a four-year college should take either the ACT or SAT beginning second semester of their Junior year. Many students repeat testing into their senior year. Colleges will accept either ACT or SAT for admission. Some students take both tests to compare scores in the event they perform better on one or the other. Please visit college websites for more information about required admissions exams.
Students planning on attending a junior college or trade school right after high school are not required to take the ACT or SAT. Those schools typically have their own entrance/placement exams.
