SAT and ACT College Testing Preparation

Students should take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) during their sophomore and junior years. Taking the PSAT exposes students to the format used and allows the school and parents to identify areas of strength and weakness. National Merit Scholarship recipients are taken from PSAT candidates that take the test during their junior year only.

Students should take the SAT/ACT examinations multiple times. It is recommended that students take either the ACT/SAT in the spring of their junior year. Students are then encouraged to take the ACT/SAT again in the fall of their senior year.

ACT/SAT Fee Waiver

Any student who qualifies for free/reduced lunch is allowed the use of two fee waivers (two total tests) which can be used for the ACT/SAT.
