College Admission Testing
Testing is part of the application process for most colleges and universities, and the applicant must ensure their scores are sent to the schools they are applying to through either the College Board (SAT and AP) or act.org (ACT). Below is some more information regarding testing and testing resources.
Test-Optional, Test-Blind, Test Required
Some schools do not require testing (Test-Blind) or have a “Test-Optional” option. If there is a choice for submitting scores or not, that decision is up to you. Please refer to the college/university’s website to gather information regarding their testing requirements.
