Colleges look at your high school transcript when you apply for admission, but they also look at your standardized test scores.
A standardized test is a test such as the ACT test, which is the most commonly taken test.
Typically, there is a minimum requirement for admission - for example, UACCM has a minimum requirement for admission of an ACT Composite score of 15. Also, some schools will have a minimum score requirement for Reading.
Check the admission requirements for any college you wish to apply for admission to, and see if you need to improve your score to avoid remedial course work!!! This is a course NOT covered by scholarships and you do NOT receive credit for the course!!!
Test scores are also used to determine scholarship offers. While they are not the only criteria considered for that, they are a huge part of that decision, and a couple of extra points on an ACT test can mean more dollars in scholarship offers, and who wouldn't want that!
The ACT Test
To register for the ACT test, a student must register online with ACT.
This means creating an online account with a unique User ID and Password for that account.
It is the student's job to know his/her User ID and Password. Save it somewhere that you can find it, if you can't remember it. Many students make notes in their phones, but sometimes a student loses their phone or gets a new one, and those things can be lost. Be diligent!

The ACCUPLACER Test
The ACCUPLACER test is another standardized test, but is taken by computer, not on paper. One unique feature of the ACCUPLACER test is that there is no time limit and it is ALL multiple choice. This format is often very beneficial for many students.
High School students are offered three ACCUPLACER tests, free of charge, each school year with the Career Coach, through UACCM. There will be a whole group fall session and a spring session. Students that are absent or need to take it a third time can scroll down below for further information. Students that need to test beyond the 3 times offered, can do so for $5 per section or $15 total at the UACCM Testing Center. Contact them for scheduling.
