CCSD juniors and seniors are encouraged to register for the ACT/SAT if they have not done so already! The next SAT is October 9th and the next ACT is October 23rd. These tests are required by most four-year colleges and universities for admission and placement purposes. Although colleges and universities generally accept either test, seniors are encouraged to take both tests, if possible. The ACT consists of four sections with an optional writing test. Cost for the ACT is $33.00 plus an additional $15.00 for students who take the optional writing test. The SAT I consists of two sections plus a required writing test. Cost for the SAT I is $47.00, which includes the writing test. Fee waivers are available for qualifying students. Please see your counselor for more information.
