College Admissions Tests & Fair Test

I know that the college admissions tests can be stressful to students (and parents), but I hope you're not worried - you will do great.  

The next ACT test date is October 26^th.  If you plan on taking this test, the registration deadline is this Friday, September 27^th.

The next SAT date is October 5^th.  Unfortunately the deadline has already passed, but there is also an SAT test date on November 2^nd.  The registration deadline for the November test date is next Thursday, October 3^rd.

It is important to know that not every college requires strong test scores... in fact, there are many colleges that do not require test scores at all when evaluating applicants for admission.

The website Fair Test is the National Center for Fair and Open Testing. Their site features a list of colleges that are test score optional schools. This hopefully reminds you that any one aspect of your college application does not make or break you - there are always more options to explore until you find the college that is the best fit for you. So please, don't allow the college admissions tests give you nightmares!
