SAT/ACT Information
Most colleges, Including the UC's, have decided to become "test-optional" for fall 2020 applicants due to the coronavirus, meaning that they will consider your scores if you have them, but won't penalize you if you do not. Check out the list of test-optional colleges. The CSUs absolutely will not consider any SAT or ACT scores.
Compass Learning Group publishes an excellent, comprehensive guide to SAT and ACT testing. Please click the link below to learn more:
https://downloads.compassprep.com/compass_guide_to_admission_testing.pdf
However, if you are applying to any elite colleges or highly competitive majors within a college, test scores might help your chances of admission. Call or email the admissions offices at those colleges to inquire about whether they prefer for you to submit scores. If so, you may want to register for and take the SAT or ACT this fall. They are offered every month, though you may have to go to a test site farther away from Marin.
If you decide to take the test, be sure to spend several weeks preparing for it. Khan Academy and act.org have fantastic, FREE, independent study online courses. Go to: Khan Academy and Free ACT prep. Or prep with a good study guidebook, such as the most recent The Official SAT Study Guide or The Real ACT Prep Guide.
Two big virtual college fairs are coming up, where you can learn about hundreds of colleges throughout the U.S! Register through links below:
Wed. Nov. 4: Coalition Fair
Sun. Nov. 8: NACAC Fair
