SAT’s & Other Entrance Tests

  • Read the admissions page of your favorite college/post-secondary school to find out which test(s) are needed, if any.
  • In MOST cases, you do not need to take your SAT’s if you are going to a school for two years of less, such as a community college or tech school. This is not always the case for associate degrees in areas of study for nursing or vet technology. Always check with the school.
  • Most schools are still test-optional due to the pandemic. 
  • Try scheduling your test for the end of your Junior year of high school.
  • If a school is requiring an entrance exam it is usually the SAT’s or ACT’s.
  • For an increasing amount of schools, the TEAS test is REQUIRED for nursing fields for associates and bachelor’s degrees.
