Info

Through the counseling office. See PSAT registration note. WHERE is it given? At OCHS. HOW are the scores reported? The scores are sent to the school. Counselors return the test booklets with the score reports. Students can use the score report to revisit test questions in preparation for the ACT. The score report also includes career information based on the student’s responses on the interest inventory. American College Test (ACT) WHAT is it? The ACT is a nationally-normed college admissions test. All state colleges and universities in Georgia accept both the SAT and ACT without preference. WHO should take it? Students are encouraged to check with the college’s website for the most up-to-date information in deciding which test may be needed. Students may also consult the college catalog or the College Handbook for admission test requirements. WHEN is it given? Test dates for any year are published in the spring prior to the new school year. Consult the ACT website at www.act.org. HOW do students register for it? Students may pick up a registration envelope and a practice test in the counseling office. Students may also elect to register online and pay the fee with a credit card. Students are responsible for noting the registration deadlines for each administration, mailing the registration in to ACT, and paying the registration fee. WHERE is it given? Area schools are listed in the registration booklet. Students who want to test locally are encouraged to register early. HOW are the scores reported? Scores are reported directly by mail to students and sent to colleges as requested by students. The school also receives a copy of the scores and can send an unofficial copy to colleges. Colleges usually require students to request that scores be sent to them directly by ACT. Scores are reported in each of the four subject areas in addition to the composite score. Students may elect at the time they register to send scores to up to six schools without incurring extra fees. Requests for reports to more than six colleges must be submitted to ACT Records and paid for as Additional Score Reports. You must request and pay for specific ACT test score dates--ACT does not automatically send all of your ACT scores to a college. The ACT also has an optional writing test--students should check with their prospective institutions to see if it is required. 68
CAN students take the ACT more than once? Yes, students can take the ACT as frequently as they wish. WHAT is the best preparation for the ACT? Read, read, read! As with the SAT, students wishing to score well on the ACT should take the most rigorous academic classes possible and take as many academic electives as the student’s schedule will allow. ASSET or COMPASS Test This test is given either as a placement test for two-year colleges or as admissions test for technical college certificate or diploma programs. Contact the school for information about taking this test. The ASSET is a 2 ½ hour test with sections in the following areas—writing skills, reading, numerical skills, and three sections in different levels of algebra. Students interested in attending Athens Area Technical College may be able to take the ASSET instead of the SAT or ACT. The Career/Technology/Agriculture Education office also has website addresses that allow the viewing of sample tests. 69
