ACT, SAT and PSAT
Nearly every four-year college and university requires applicants to have taken one or both college entrance exams, the ACT and the SAT. Both of these tests are curriculum-based national college admissions exams that measure college readiness. These tests keep pace with what colleges are looking for today, measuring the skills required for success in the 21st century. The websites for these tests ACT (American College Test) and Sat (Scholastic Aptitude Test) contain a wealth of valuable information, including free practice tests, test dates, registration, scores, college and career planning, and college financial aid information.
While standardized tests continue to be scrutinized, the ACT and SAT historically and accurately measure college readiness as well as college performance. College-readiness benchmark scores indicate that students have a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or a 75% chance of obtaining a C or higher in credit-bearing college courses.
