Prerequisite: Completion of Activity 30.

 

	Visit the Post-ITT Website and go to each school of interest. (See Activity 28.) Determine whether the school requires the SAT or the ACT as an admission consideration. Make an appointment with your high school guidance counselor to discuss the steps you must take to prepare for the SAT or ACT. Request information on: Classes or instruction to help prepare you for the SAT or ACT Available testing accommodations Procedure to determine your eligibility for accommodations Necessary paperwork and application to request accommodations Application materials to schedule the SAT or ACT
	Record all tasks and deadlines on the Planning Calendar. (See Activity 24.)
	You will find additional information to help you prepare for the SAT or ACT at the following web sites: http://www.collegeboard.com http://www.act.org/ In addition, use an Internet search engine such as http://www.google.com to find other websites that may be of help.
	Complete and submit your application to take the SAT or ACT. If you are eligible for testing accommodations, complete and submit the necessary paperwork. Pay attention to the deadlines. Attend a preparation class that may be available. Take the SAT or ACT.
	Discuss the test-taking experience and your test results with a teacher or guidance counselor. Does your test score meet the admissions requirements at your colleges of interest? If your answer is “no,” make plans to re-take the test and discuss the following questions. In what areas of the test would I like to improve my score? What steps do I take to improve my score in those areas? Did I use the accommodations I am eligible to receive? What steps in this activity do I repeat to prepare for a re-take? You may conclude that it is unlikely that your score will increase enough to meet admissions requirements. If this is the case, consider alternatives to that school.
