Why is taking the SAT and ACT so important?

Posted by Kelly Selby in Mar, 2014

Although colleges will consider other factors, the majority of admission decisions start with only two criteria: your SAT or ACT score, and your GPA.  Aside from being a requirement for college admission, the SAT/ACT can help you in these important ways.

• Many scholarships require a minimum SAT or ACT score.
• The SAT or ACT is an excellent way to set yourself apart from other college applicants. In other words, having a high score gets you noticed.
