• ACT, SAT, & CLT

    While the ACT, SAT, and CLT are NOT required for high school graduation, many students still elect to take one or more of these tests for the following reasons:

    • University Admissions: While many universities are moving towards test-optional admissions, the majority still require either an ACT or SAT score.
    • High School Graduation: ACT, SAT, and CLT scores can meet the graduation assessment requirements (FSA ELA & Algebra 1 EOC) by earning a concordant score.
    • Scholarships: Several scholarships require ACT, SAT, or CLT scores to be submitted, most notably the Bright Futures scholarship.

  • Fee Waivers

    ACT, SAT, and CLT fee waivers are available to low-income 11th- and 12th-grade students in the U.S.
