ACT & SAT Information
College Admissions Tests
There are two basic college admissions tests, the ACT and the SAT. Students typically begin taking college admissions tests in the spring of their junior year. Most students elect to take either or both of the tests more than one time. As part of the state testing requirement, all MCPASD students are required to take the ACT, free of charge, in the spring of their junior year.
