SAT Subject Tests

The American College Testing(ACT), a college entrance exam, has expanded in usage throughout the United States to a great extent.

Standardized tests: SAT, ACT, PSAT, ITBS, and Accuplacer. These tests, plus many more, are required to be taken in high score if higher education is wanted.

Rather than going the “easy” route, colleges should work on a new way to evaluate students for scholarships, other than giving them money because of how they performed on a test over the course of a couple of hours.
