Pre-College
Testing
You'll
need to begin planning early to take the necessary Pre-College
testing that will be required as part of your application
for admission. Typically you should plan to
- Register
and take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT)
in the fall of your Sophomore year - consider using testing
adjustments and auxiliary aids.
-
Consider taking a course to prepare for the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) Test or for the ACT Assessment (ACT)
early in your Junior year.
-
Take
the SAT or ACT in the spring of your Junior year. Consider
taking them more than once - once with testing adjustments
and once without them.
-
Take
the SAT again, if appropriate, in your Senior year.
REMEMBER:
Requests for test accommodations are reviewed on a case-by-case
basis and the major testing agencies have set forth guidelines
and policies on the provision of test adjustments for students
with disabilities. The accommodations requested must be the
same as the testing accommodations you are currently receiving
in school.
