The SAT and ACT are standardized tests that most colleges require as part of the admissions process. These tests are administered at area high schools on Saturday mornings throughout the year, and students are responsible for registering. Decisions about which test to take, when to take it, and how often to take it will vary greatly from one student to the next. Mrs. Turner will work with each student individually to determine the best plan.

Generally, we recommend that students begin taking the SAT and/or ACT in the winter of their junior year.
