College Admissions Exams (SAT & ACT)

College-bound juniors are typically encouraged to take the SAT or ACT (or both) before their junior year ends.  This allows for time to retake the exam(s) (if necessary) before fall college application deadlines.  Juniors planning to take the SAT are encouraged to take the PSAT in October.  Counselors distribute information about PSAT registration during English classes in early September.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, many colleges (including all SUNY colleges and universities) have adopted test-optional admissions policies.  Some schools will remain test-optional beyond the current 2022-2023 admission cycle, and others may again require an SAT/ACT score for admissions in the coming years when testing is safe to do again.  Please check carefully with the schools that you plan to apply to in order to fully understand each school's admission criteria for your cohort.
