PSAT, SAT, and ACT ExamsMost four-year colleges and universities require either SAT 1 (Reasoning test) or ACT scores as part of the admission package. Either test is usually acceptable, and the colleges will often look at the higher scores if multiple exams are taken over time. Many students will take both of these exams, as they may do better on one or the other, and colleges will give the benefit to the higher scores. We recommend taking the PSAT in the junior year (and possibly also the sophomore year) as well as either the SAT 1 or the ACT in the spring of the junior year. As seniors, students can then take either or both exams again if they are working on bringing up their scores. It is important to check admissions requirements with regard to SAT or ACT test scores, as the expectations may vary widely. Selective schools tend to place more emphasis on higher test scores, as do scholarship programs. Selective schools may also require students to take several SAT11 Subject tests, in addition to the SAT 1 Reasoning or the ACT test. Those should be done late in the junior year if the student has taken AP or IB classes, or early in the senior year. Most colleges and universities value course rigor in high school, grades and college admissions exams in combination with one another. |
