ACT and SAT Information

While standardized test scores should be taken seriously, they are not to be over-stressed. A good score will help your chances of acceptance to any school you choose, and it could qualify you for additional college scholarships and financial assistance. But, if you are not a good test-taker, do not stress - it is just one factor that colleges look at when making enrollment decisions. Stay calm and use the below resources to prepare.
