Test Requirements
All freshmen are required to submit scores on the American
College Test or the Scholastic Aptitude Test. High schools should have
registration forms for these tests. If these registration forms are not
available in your high school, they may be obtained by writing to the
Registration Department, American College Testing Program, P.O. Box
414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. The registration form is accompanied by a
Student Information Bulletin which describes the test, gives the dates
and places for test administrations, and the procedures for registration.
Test centers are located throughout the United States, and tests are
administered on five specific dates established by the testing service
each year. Scores are reported to the colleges and universities as
requested by the student.
Applicants are advised to take the ACT as early as possible in the
junior or senior year of high school. ACT test results are used as an aid
in predicting the applicant’s prospects for a successful college career and
as a basis for planning the student’s program of studies. Registration for
ACT or SAT should be made at least one month in advance of the test
date. Where it is impossible to take the ACT in the local schools, the
SAT test will be acceptable.
Placement Testing
In order to effectively place entering students in certain courses, we
require some students to take additional placement tests prior to enrollment.
These tests help to determine which students may need additional
help in the areas of reading or mathematics. Students with standardized
test scores which fall within a certain range will be notified of the need to
take the Nelson-Denny Reading Test and/or the Math Placement Test.
NELSON-DENNY READING TEST
Students with the following scores are required to take this test:
ACT English subscore, 1-13; SAT Verbal subscore, 100-390. Students
scoring below the 12th-grade level on the Nelson-Denny Reading Test

credit.
MATH PLACEMENT TEST
