College Admissions Testing

COLLEGE ADMISSION TESTS
Most four year, and some two year colleges require either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT. We encourage juniors to take an admission test in the spring and again in the fall of senior year. We don't recommend taking these tests more than three times. Some schools may also require the SAT Subject Test. Check the schools' admission requirements to be sure. On-line registration for these tests is encouraged. Plymouth Whitemarsh is not responsible for registering students for any of these tests. If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact the College Counseling Office.

Register at www.collegeboard.org for the SAT.

Register at www.actstudent.org for the ACT

Tests listed with an * are administered at PWHS.

All standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) must be sent directly from the testing center. PWHS does not release test scores and they do not appear on the high school transcript.
