The SAT is administered in Vale
There are MANY resources available ONLINE to help students prepare for the ACT or SAT. Visit ACT.ORG for more study information and/or practice tests. Visit CollegeBoard.Org for more study information and/or practice tests for the SAT. I also have study books available in my Graduation Coach's office that students are more than welcome to borrow!
Students often ask...which test should I take, the ACT or the SAT? I tell students to research what their top school(s) of choice require and narrow down their decision from there. If a student is planning to attend a community college or trade school upon graduation, taking the ACT or SAT may not be necessary. It is always best to keep all doors of opportunity open so PLAN ahead and make wise choices when determining which test to take and if it is necessary!
