SAT/Standardized Testing
STANDARDIZED TESTING
Admission to college is based primarily on classroom performance in high school. The grades you earn in academic courses provide a lot of information for colleges to make decisions. The second piece of critical information is a college entrance exam. All juniors (and seniors who have not yet tested) in Michigan will take the SAT in the spring, which will allow for possible retakes in the summer or fall. Most admissions decisions will be delayed until the college receives these test results.
Note: We strongly recommend that you send test scores to colleges of interest WHEN TESTING to avoid further delays and fees. You will receive 4 FREE score sends on SAT school day testing.
