SAT and ACT Information

Current juniors who plan to attend a four-year college in the fall of2016 should take the SA

T s

and/or

ACT during the spring

of their junior year. Juniors should have all the necessary SAT s an d/or ACT

completed by the

end of

their

junior year. This

them

time to repeat tests

during

the fa ll of

their senior yea r, (December may be too late for some colleges). The Counseling Office recommends

that students take these college entrance exams

at least twice

to ensure the best results since colleges

will take the best scores.

The SAT Reasoning Test includes a writing section. Students will be asked to write an essa

.

Students

must use a pencil and can choose to print or write in cursive. The critical reading section will include

short and long reading passages. The math section will include items from third-year college-preparatory

Which test to take: SAT or ACT

You might wonder why you have to choose between the SAT and the ACT --maybe one of the two is favored by

the studen ts in your school. Ten or 20 years ago , choosing which test to take wasn't even an issue. Until

recently, the ACT was traditionally required by

colleges

in the Midwest, and the SAT was the test of choice in

the northeast and on the east and west coasts . But now an increasing number

of

students are taking the ACT,

and the majority

of

schools in the United States

now

accept

both

SAT and

ACT

test resu lts.

Standard ized tests like the

SAT

and ACT are designed to allow college admissions officers to

ju

dge all students

by a common measurement. Scores on these tests can compensate for differences in high sch ool curriculum,

grade inflation, and quality

of

teaching. In addition, they serve as a reiiable predictor

of

how you will perform

academically in your freshman year of college.

How

This

Affects You

The increased acceptance

of

the ACT gives today's savvy students a strategic advantage.

The SAT and ACT are

signific ntly

different tests, and in many ways, they measure different skills. So

depending on your particular strengths and weaknesses, you may perform much better on one test than the

other. As a result, many students embarking on the admissions process are now considering

both

the SAT and

ACT--to figure out which test provides a better showcase for their abilities.

What'. the Difference?

Admissions officers and educators often describe the difference between

SAT

and

ACT

in these terms: the ACT

is a content-based test, whereas the SAT tests critical thinking and problem solving. This perception is one

reason many educators

off

the record) express a preference for the ACT--because they be lieve that the ACT is

closer to testing the core curriculum taught in most school classrooms. In fact , this contrast isn't exactly

watertight. Many questions on the ACT test critical thinking, and there

is

a predictable range ofmaterial that's

tested on the SAT. But the

SAT

and

ACT

reward different attributes, so performing well on each test can boil

down to what kind of test taker you are .

Here arc some

of

the factors that make the

SAT

and ACT very different breed s:

The ACT includes a science reason ing test ; the SAT does not.

The ACT math section includes trigonometry.

The SAT tests vocabulary much more than the ACT.

The SAT is not entirely multiple choice.

The SAT has a guessing penalty; the ACT does not.

The ACT tests English grammar; the SAT does not.


12/19

Remember, both the SAT and ACT are important part s of your application, but they re only one of several

factors--from your courses and grades to recommendations and your personal statement--that colleges consider.

SNAPSHOT SAT

The SAT is the most widely taken college entrance examination. It is designed to test your skill level in math,

vocabulary, and readingcomprehension. The test is divid ed into 10 sections: 3 math, 3 reading, 3 writing, and I

experimental section. The math, reading and writing sections each have their own distinct question types,

including quantitative comparisons, sentence completions, grid-ins, and more. The experimental section, used

by the test developer to tryout new questions, is not scored and can be either math or verbal. You will not know

which section is experimental.

So what is a good SAT score? The exam con sists of three parts: Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing.

The scores from each section can range from 200 to 800 , so the best possible total score is 2400. The average

score for each section is roughl y 500 , so the average total score is about 1500 .

SNAPSHOT ACT

The American College Testing Assessment (ACT) is designed to test your skill levels in English, math, reading,

and science reasoning. On the test, you will have 2 hours and 55 minutes to complete a variety of multiple

choice questions divided into four sections one for each tested subject area. The English, reading, and science

sections each include several reading passages with anywhere from 5 to 15 questions per passage. The math

section includes 60 que stions each with 5 possible answer choices.

You will actually receive 12 separate scores on the ACT: 1 composite 4 subject scores, and 7 subscores.

However the composite or scaled score is the most important. It ranges from 1-36. Nearly half

of

all test takers

fall in the 17-23 range .

SAT vs. ACT

Until recently; the ACT was required by colleges in the Midwest, while the SAT was the test

of

choice for

schools in the Northeast and on both coasts. Now, however, most schools accept both. Thi s increased

acceptance

of

both exams gives students a strategic advantage. The

ACT

is a content-based test, whereas the

SAT tests critical thinking and problem solving skills. Depending on your particular strengths and weaknesses,

you may perform significantly better on one test than the other. Regardless, you should check with each

of

your

target school s before taking either exam.
