Standardized Testing: ACT/SAT

There are many colleges/universities that DO NOT require scores. These schools are test optional programs. A full list of test optional schools can be found at Fairtest.org.

AP exams are not a requirement for college admissions in the United States. There are a few International schools that do require AP exam scores to gain admission. These scores may be self-reported and then officially sent once you decide where you will matriculate. Exams are offered on specific school days in May.

It is the student’s responsibility to send test scores to colleges. When sending scores, the rules of each college must be followed. Some colleges have a Report-All testing policy and some colleges offer Score Choice, which allows students to only send their best scores. Sending can be done by self reporting scores on the application and/or requesting sending through College Board and ACT. Given the very real possibility that all scores will need to be sent, we strongly suggest that students only take tests they are prepared for.
