      SAT ~ Scholastic Aptitude Test

       

       

      The ACT and the SAT are college admissions tests required by most colleges. Most college admissions committees will evaluate your application based on your best single-session score, so don't hesitate to send scores from multiple test days. For those of you who don't test well, you'll be glad to know that there are colleges that are test-optional ~ you may still need to take an SAT or ACT, but the score is not a critical piece of your application.  The SAT will be administered on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at Tolar High School.
