ACT/SAT Information

The ACT and SAT are the two college entrance exams that students have an option to take for college admission.  Most colleges accept scores from either test.  Students are encouraged to take the exams during junior year so that they can retake the exam if the scores are not as high as their goal.  We also recommend that a student take the writing portion of the ACT exam at least once. These tests can be retaken as many times as a student wants.  Colleges generally only consider the highest scores obtained on any one test.  Registration information can be found in the Guidance Department.  Students must register online: ACT at www. act.org or SAT at www.collegeboard.com. 

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION:  Students should make sure that their name is spelled as it appears on their school ID.  No nicknames should be used.  The SHG school code or CEEB code is 143-965.
