ACT/SAT Testing Date 2024-2025
Why should you take the SAT or the ACT?
Together, your SAT scores and your high school grades can show your potential to succeed in college or career. The test is not intended to be studied for; it is supposed to measure your ability. A handful of scholarships, as well as several post-secondary programs of study, require SAT and/or ACT scores for eligibility. Take the test and learn a little more about the amazing things you are capable of!
