College Admissions Tests
What are they? There are a couple of different standardized college admission tests. The word standardized means that the test measures the same thing in the same way for everyone who takes it. The results of these tests help colleges determine how well prepared you are for college-level work. The SAT and the ACT Most four-year colleges require that students submit SAT or ACT scores. Here’s how each of these tests is structured: The SAT has three major sections: math, reading, writing and language (and an optional essay section). The ACT has four major sections: English, math, reading and science (and an optional essay section).
