National Standardized Test Information<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The college admission tests are given by two testing agencies, the College Board (CEEB) and the (ACT) American College Testing Program. The College Board is an association of approximately 5,000 colleges, schools, school systems, and education associations throughout the country. The CEEB offers the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test\/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT\/NMSQT), the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and the Advanced Placement program (AP). The PSAT, a two-hour test of verbal and mathematical skills administered in October, previews the SAT, and serves as the qualifier for the National Merit Scholarship program for juniors. The State of Florida pays for every sophomore to take this exam and we strongly encourage all freshmen and juniors to participate. Since the PSAT does qualify students for scholarships, all juniors are expected to take the exam.<\/p>\n

The American College Testing program (ACT) is a private testing agency associated with colleges of varying sizes and types and is used for admission at most colleges in the U.S., as well as qualifying for the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. The ACT, a test for juniors and seniors only, is administered six times a year. The ACT is a three-hour examination which measures the student\u2019s ability in English usage, mathematics, social studies, and natural science. Scores range from 1 to 36 on the ACT.<\/p>\n

Students can register for the SAT and the ACT on-line. The web site for the SAT is www.collegeboard.com<\/a> and www.actstudent.org<\/a> for the ACT. Creekside High School\u2019s Code Number is 102308 for the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), the ACT (American College Test), and the AP (Advanced Placement exams).<\/p>\n
