Is the SAT/ACT test required?

FAQs
Yes. Standardized test scores are an important part of your application for admission, but they are only one part of your application. Each major has established requirements. For example, the School of Business and Engineering place more of an emphasis on the math SAT than most of the majors in the School of Arts and Sciences. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions.

Should I do test prep for the SAT or ACT?

Hawken School: Upper School College Counseling
It is always a good idea to prepare for standardized tests. Before deciding what type of preparation is best, students should do some self-examination. Some self-directed students do very well by buying a book of practice tests and taking them on their own. Other students need the enforced discipline of attending a class. While it has been proven that preparation and familiarity with standardized tests do improve students' scores, one method of preparation is not necessarily better than another.
