Students should test in the Spring of their Junior year and Seniors should retest in September/October.

  • Many transcripts will have ACT or SAT scores on them. However, students may need to send scores through the ACT or College Board (SAT) websites using their online account.
  • Some colleges require scores to be sent directly from the testing agency so please refer to college admissions’ websites for these details.
  • Order scores to be sent at least 10 business days before application deadline.
  • At the time of testing, you can send your scores to up to four colleges for free. Otherwise, cost is $12-16 per score.
  • List your home school codes when registering for these tests, not MCCC.
