College Admissions Testing

Tests which are labeled college admissions tests measure how much a student has learned throughout all his years of schooling. There are two major tests: the SAT and the ACT.

SAT

The SAT is preferred by colleges in the Middle Atlantic states. It measures both verbal and math ability. This test is administered at specific sites seven times during the school year. Dates are posted in the Guidance Center and are included in this guide.

ACT

The ACT is recognized by most colleges in the Middle Atlantic States but is preferred by schools in the southern and western states. Many community colleges in Pennsylvania use this test for admission and/or placement purposes. It measures ability in four areas: verbal, math, natural science and reading. It is administered at specified sites five times during the school year. Dates are posted in the Guidance Center and are included in this guide.
