College Entrance Testing
Most colleges require a college entrance test as a part
of their admission requirements--American College Test
(ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and sometimes
up to three Achievement Tests. These tests are usually taken
in the spring or summer of the junior year in high school.
Students can take these tests as many times as needed.
There is a fee charged for taking these tests. Local testing
sites include Illinois State University, Illinois Wesleyan
University, Bloomington High School and Normal Community
High School. General information and registration materials
for these tests are available in the Counseling Offices.
American College Test (ACT) - The ACT is required
by most public colleges and community colleges in Illinois.
Many private schools and schools out of state will accept
it also. (If in doubt regarding which test to take, check
the catalog of the school in which you are interested.)
The PSAE test
includes the ACT test and is administered to high
school juniors every year.
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) - Most private
schools require the SAT. Check the college catalog
to see if this test is required.
