The ACT/SAT are college entrance exams that should be taken by students planning to attend college.

The ACT and SAT exams can also be as concordant scores for students who have not passed the 10th grade ELA FSA exam (see below for concordant scores). For test sign ups, general information and testing resources visit the SAT and/or ACT websites directly.
