The S.A.T.

 

The SAT Reasoning Test is widely used by colleges and universities admissions. It tests students' knowledge of subjects that are necessary for college success: reading, writing, and mathematics.

The SAT assesses the critical thinking skills students need for academic success in college—skills that students learned in high school.

The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors. It is offered at Gunn several times each year. For more information visit www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/about.html

The A.C.T.

 

The ACT is a national college admissions examination that consists of subject area tests in English, Mathematics, Reading and Science.

The ACT Plus Writing includes the four subject area tests plus a 30-minute Writing Test.

ACT results are accepted by all 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S. The ACT multiple-choice tests are curriculum based. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the ACT are directly related to what you have learned in your high school courses in the four subject areas.

Because the ACT tests are based on what is taught in the high school curriculum, some students are more comfortable with the ACT than they are with traditional aptitude tests or tests with narrower content.

The ACT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors. It is offered at Gunn several times each year. For more information visit www.actstudent.org/index.html
