SAT and ACT – Both of these tests are used for admissions to 4 year colleges and universities.  We recommend that students take both of these tests, then re-take the one that they score higher on.  The highest scores are what the universities use when reviewing applications.  Please begin taking these tests during your JUNIOR year of high school.

PARENTS...you can purchase practice books for each of these tests at one of the local bookstores.  The more your student practices these tests, the better chance they have of improving their scores! 

SAT – (Scholastic Aptitude Test) – We highly recommend exploring the website, as information including testing dates and registration is included.  We also encourage you to sign up for the question of the day and check out the essay prompts!

AP Testing – (Advanced Placement)
AP Exams are rigorous, multiple-component tests in 37 subjects that are administered at high schools each May. High school students can earn college credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam grades. Each AP Exam has a corresponding AP course and provides a standardized measure of what students have learned in the AP classroom.
In May 2008, more than 1.6 million high school students at over 17,000 schools worldwide took AP Exams. The majority of U.S. high schools currently participate in the AP Program, and more than 90 percent of four-year U.S. colleges and universities grant credit or placement for qualifying AP Exam grades.

2010 AP Exam schedule
The 2010 AP Exams will be administered over two weeks in May: May 3 through 7 and May 10 through 14. Coordinators are responsible for notifying students when and where to report for the exams. Early testing or testing at times other than those published by the College Board is not permitted under any circumstances.
