College Admissions Testing
Most colleges require students to submit standardized admissions test scores as part of the application process. You may elect to take the SAT and/or ACT. While most colleges will accept either set of scores, a few colleges do have a preference for one test over the other. Be sure to carefully check the admissions criteria of any college/university to which you plan to apply. Information on how to register can be found in the CIC, or by clicking on the links below. Generally, both tests require that you register online.
Some schools require SAT subject tests for placement in classes once you have been accepted. Some also require these tests for admission. You should check with the colleges you are interested in for specific requirements.
When registering, you will need the CHHS CEEB code. Our code is 340645.
