College Entrance Exams

If you plan to attend a college or university, you need to take either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude (SAT or College Boards).

Oc Reference books and computer programs are available that indicate which test is required. Students considering school both in Kansas and in other states may want to take both entrance exams.
