Extractions: The High School Plan Many colleges and universities require standardized tests, including the SAT I and SAT II and/or ACT. These tests enable colleges to compare the academic achievements of students from different schools and help determine who is best suited for study at their respective institutions. PSAT/NMSQT The Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test (PSAT) is a "practice test" for the SAT I. With the same format as the SAT I, the PSAT is a useful predictor of SAT I scores. Most students' performance improves slightly by the time that they actually take the SAT I. The PSAT is not required, though it is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Those achieving the highest scores in the country are named National Merit finalists and National Merit winners and are often eligible for scholarships. The PSAT is normally taken in the fall of either the sophomore or junior year of high school. A student can obtain the registration information from his or her school college office or guidance counselor. SAT I: Reasoning Test The SAT I: Reasoning Test is a timed (3 hour) test, which measures mathematical and verbal reasoning abilities. Most colleges and universities require it for admission. Students should take the SAT I either in the spring of junior year or fall of senior year. It is preferable to take it in the junior year, for if a student wishes to improve the score, it can be retaken in time for scores to be sent to colleges. High school guidance and college offices have forms to pre-register; it is important to observe registration dates. Students with disabilities may make arrangements, including un-timed exams, to accommodate their needs.

Extractions: March 1998 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Taking a college entrance exam can be one of the most stressful times in a student's life, but a Purdue University expert says it doesn't have to be. Doug Christiansen, director of Purdue's Office of Admissions, says taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT) does not have to be a nerve-racking experience. Test results from the SAT and ACT are one of the tools colleges and universities use to determine which students to admit. "Everyone can set themselves up for success on these tests," Christiansen says. "However, you can't spend a week cramming, go to bed early the night before, eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the test and expect to have fabulous success. The best preparation happens over time." He suggests: Taking college preparation courses (English, math and science) during all four years of high school. "Stay in academic courses throughout your high school career," Christiansen says. "Even if you've fulfilled your school's graduation requirements, keep taking solid college prep classes. Continuing to improve your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills will do nothing but help you when test time rolls around."

Extractions: STANDARDIZED TESTS Most colleges and universities require their applicants to take at least one standardized test for their consideration for admission. For most students, this usually means taking the SAT I: Reasoning Test (formerly called the SAT). Most selective colleges also require one, two, or even three SAT II: Subject Tests (formerly called Achievement Tests). If you live in certain parts of the country, the ACT may be the more common test. The ACT is another standardized test used for college admission. Most colleges and universities will accept either the SAT or the ACT. Sometimes the ACT can be taken instead of the SAT I, and sometimes instead of both the SAT I and SAT II. The ACT is a test which most students should consider taking at least once; by doing so, you could be giving yourself more options. For a comparison summary of the two tests, click here. Whatever standardized test(s) you take, remember that you are responsible for seeing to it that the respective testing agency forwards your score(s), in a timely fashion, to the colleges to which you will applying. Your test scores may or may not appear on your high school transcript, but even when they do, most colleges will still want an official report from the testing agency.
