College Entrance & Placement Exams

College Admissions Exams

College admissions exams are standardized tests that are used by postsecondary institutions (4 year universities) for the purpose of admissions. In the United States the most widely used admissions exams are the SAT and ACT. Students can help to prepare themselves for the SAT and ACT by taking the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). When taken in the 9th and 10th grades, the PSAT can help students identify areas of strength, areas of needed improvement, and help them to see how much they have grown academically. As an 11th grader, students who take the PSAT and score well enough can qualify for a number of merit based scholarships.
