*The SAT is a standardized test used for college admissions. CHHS students are more familiar with the ACT. Although the content on both tests overlaps, there are some major differences between the two tests. For instance, the SAT gives you more time to answer each question than the ACT, but the ACT includes a Science subtest where the SAT does not. The SAT has a Math section in which you are not allowed to use a calculator, but you can use a calculator on both ACT math sections.

Almost all colleges will accept both ACT and SAT test scores.
