What is a Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT)?

 

Regular SAT Test:

The SAT is an admission test widely-used by many USA colleges and universities. The new revised SAT exam (Spring 2016) includes a Reading Test, Writing and Language Test, and a Math Test. There is also an optional essay component which some colleges will require. SAT questions focus on skills that matter most for college readiness and success, according to the latest research.

Taking Tests More than Once: 

 

You may take the SAT or the ACT more than one time. The writing component of the ACT or SAT will not be used to determine your qualifier status.

 

IMPORTANT CHANGE:

 

All SAT and ACT test scores must be reported to the NCAA Eligibility Center directly from the testing agency. Test scores will not be accepted if reported on a high school transcript.
