College Entrance & Placement Tests
ACT
The ACT (American College Test) is a college admissions test accepted by most colleges and universities. The ACT is given to all students during the spring of the Junior year.
Students that are planning on going to a four-year-college are encouraged to take the ACT again during their Senior year, especially if students want to increase their score. Fee waivers are available in the College & Career Center, along with registration and practice materials.

SAT
The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is a standardized test developed by the College Board for admission to colleges across the United States. It is a common entrance test that candidates in and outside the US have to take in order to pursue college education in the US. The SAT tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math -- subjects that are taught every day in high school classrooms. In general, there are no test requirements or prerequisites for SAT. The student can take it at any time that they are in high school. The test is administered on Saturdays during certain months of the year.
College-bound juniors should consider taking the SAT. We encourage students who are planning to apply to four-year colleges and universities to take the SAT at least once during their junior year.
Students planning to apply to two-year community and technical colleges are NOT required to submit SAT scores.
Like the ACT, paper registration materials and fee waivers are available in the College & Career Center.

Community College Placement Test (RISE)
The community college placement test called RISE (Reinforced Instruction for Student Excellence) is administered to seniors that are planning to enroll at the community college after high school that have an unweighted GPA below 2.80. Basic reading skills, sentence skills, arithmetic, and elementary algebra are tested to determine students’ preparedness for college-level courses. The test also serves to place students into the appropriate level of English and Math classes once they enroll at the community college.
While this test does not determine if students are admitted into the community college, students who do poorly may not be eligible for admissions into some competitive programs. These tests also determine if students must take remedial Math and English classes at the community college. Since these remedial courses typically cost over $200 each, it is to your advantage to score high on the placement test.
