Yes and no. Obviously it is better for the student to perform strongly in both areas, but we will show you how to position a student like that to receive maximum aid.

All college applications dedicate a section in their application where students can provide test results. It is important to include every score as well as those that are pending. In addition, colleges will require confirmation of student scores directly from the testing agency. Testing agencies will release scores only with the explicit consent of the students. Therefore, students are encouraged to contact ETS or ACT in a timely fashion.

That is entirely up to the student, depending upon his or her educational goals. The college career and advising center will be an excellent resource as will GMCHS teachers. Middle College students take all required state and district tests including Program Assessments and STAR9 and CAT6 tests. (We are proud to note that the API for GMCHS was the highest in the district last year!).

Colleges that accept the ACT tend not to require SAT Subject Tests, or at least not as many. You should contact the college's admissions office to find out their policy.

Students should find out which test is preferred by the colleges to which they are applying. If the college accepts both, students should take the test which suits their own strengths. See www.actstudent.org for information regarding the ACT.

Based on the number of college credits you have and the types of courses you have taken, you may need to still submit ACT or SAT-1 scores. You will want to discuss this with your Admissions Counselor, who will assist you regarding your particular situation. Generally, students with less than 30 college level credits need to submit results from either the ACT or SAT-1.

ACT and SAT test scores for younger students are confusing when viewed out of context, but MATS provides easy-to-understand material to help young students interpret scores and plan their educational futures.

The ACT/SAT measures are more knowledge-based and measure only academic aptitudes. These are intended to predict success in a particular college curriculum. Career Vision’s Ball Aptitude Battery® not only includes the general academic aptitudes, but more importantly includes aptitudes that give a more complete understanding of a person’s abilities: different types of creativity, spatial abilities, memory abilities, finger dexterity, reasoning styles and attention to details.

We do not require the SAT / ACT for admission. However, we do recommend that you still take them. If you have taken the test, feel free to forward your scores to the Office of Admissions for review.

On average, Thacher students take 2-3 SAT II tests. Each student, based on his or her particular area of strength, and with the guidance of the counseling office can select their tests. For example, students who have completed Math III are ready to take the SAT II Math 2C. The Educational Testing Service (a branch of the College Board) will continue to provide sample tests in the Registration Bulletin; these tests are also available in the College Counseling office.

Yes, we will help your student prepare for both exams. We highly recommend that you contact us at least six weeks before the test so our tutors have enough time to help the student prepare. Although we only require one hour a week of tutoring, our experience has been that two hours a week for test prep is the most effective. The rate is the same as our hourly rates for all other subjects of tutoring.

No. SAT and ACT scores are not required to determine your eligibility to be admitted to a California community college, nor may they be used in lieu of community college assessment tests.

We only accept the standardized test scores that apply to college admissions - specifically, the ACT, SAT, PSAT or PLAN. Admission requirements to the Academy are the same for Columbus and the Regional campuses. All students, regardless of campus of enrollment, must meet the admissions requirements. Admission to the Academy does not guarantee admission to Ohio State after high school graduation.

No. Moorpark College is a public Community College. No standardized tests are necessary for admission to any California Community College. The College will admit anyone who is 18 years of age or older, or who has graduated from High School. So anyone who meets these criteria can attend Moorpark College. You can get an application for Moorpark College on-line at this link. IMPORTANT NOTICE; the EATM program has separate admission requirements.

Yes, either test is acceptable. We recommend that students who are deaf or hard of hearing take the ACT because research has shown that deaf students perform better on this test than the SAT. To learn more about the tests and the dates they are being offered, visit ACT or SAT on the Web.

We don't recommend one test (SAT or ACT) over the other. Both tests are acceptable for purposes of the CTY Talent Search in that both tests measure learned abilities. The scores needed on either the SAT or ACT to qualify for Summer Programs or Distance Education have been set such that neither test provides an advantage or disadvantage.

Students are not required to take the ACT or SAT, however if they have not taken either one within two years of applying for admission they will be required to take the COMPASS test. These scores are used to place students in math and English courses. The COMPASS test is administered on campus for a cost of $10. Yes, international students follow the same admissions requirements as domestic students.

No, we require the THEA; however, you could be THEA-exempt with sufficiently high SAT, ACT, TAAS or TAKS scores.

Not every student should take the ACT or the SAT, but these tests have a long track record as good measures of academic talent. MATS uses these challenging tests because they are often more appropriate for academically talented students than standardized tests designed for their age group. In fact, between a quarter and a third of these students score as well as or better than the average college-bound high school senior.
