Do I have to take a SAT in order to go to college?

I'm a Junior(HS), do i still need to take SAT/ACT if I want to go to a community college?

  • they say that you must take SAT/ACT if ur going to a 4 year university, how about Community College....

  • Answer:

    Do you plan on getting a two-year or four-year degree? If a two-year degree is your goal, then taking the SAT or the ACT would be a waste of time and money. However, if you are planning to transfer to a four-year institution later on, then you should take them now instead of waiting until later. Who knows? If your score is high enough and your GPA is 3.2 or higher, a four-year college could offer you a scholarship right out of high-school. Wouldn't that be a "kick"?

Wendy, Although it may not be necessary, it might qualify you for some grants that you would not otherwise qualify for. Some require a certain score on the ACT or SAT test to be eligible. I attended a Community College then transferred to a four year College without taking either one of them but I did not even think I could qualify for scholarships. Talk with a guidance counselor or a College Representative in charge of Financial Aid. They are generally versed on what is/is not available. I hope that you do well when you decide to go. Have a great weekend and a wonderful school year! Eds

Some community colleges have entrence exams such as COMPASS that are required to take if you scored low or just didn't take the SAT/ACT. You should first check to see if the community college your intrested in offers such placement exams in place of a SAT/ACT. But, your best bet is to still take either or both test to save yourself add agervation!

Moe ya know

community college does not typically require SAT/ACT. They will probably have a placement test when you apply for the community college of your choice that you will be required to take that before being accepted.
