American (US)

The SAT is a college board administered entrance exam that is recognized by most colleges and universities in the US and abroad for college admission decisions. The exam assesses the high school students’ readiness to join the college with a common data point as a reference for all applicants.

The ACT® test motivates students to perform to their best ability. Test scores reflect what students have learned throughout high school and provide colleges and universities with excellent information for recruiting, advising, placement, and retention.

Many times, students who are not considering higher education rethink their plans when they see their ACT test results. This is especially true for underrepresented students. To support college and career planning, the ACT also offers a career exploration component to help students identify career options.
