Tests NOT Offered at SSHS:

The following tests are offered numerous times throughout the school year on outside campuses and can be taken multiple times.

Suggestion: Take a practice test for BOTH the ACT and SAT. Based on how you do, prepare only for the test you scored higher on and felt more comfortable with. There is no reason to continue preparing for both tests, unless you choose to do so.

Keep in Mind: UCs and CSUs will no longer consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions or awarding scholarships. If you choose to submit test scores as part of your application, they may be used for course placement following enrollment only. Contact out-of-state or private schools directly for their testing requirements.
