SAT & ACT
SAT and ACT are two separate private companies that offer similar tests that are used for college entrance, bright futures qualification, and concordant scores to meet the FSA graduation requirement.
All juniors should take an ACT or SAT or both during the second semester. Sophomores who are considering dual enrollment should take an ACT or SAT or both during the second semester.
Fee waivers are available for SAT and/or ACT for juniors and seniors who are approved for free or reduced lunch. Students can obtain a waiver in the Guidance office during lunch time.
