What’s the difference between the ACT and the SAT? The ACT is a standardized test that measures high school achievement and is used for college admission and scholarships. The SAT is more of an aptitude test, testing
reasoning and verbal abilities.
The next test date is October
24th . The deadline to register
without a late fee is
September 18th.
The Cost is $39.50. Fee waivers are available for students on free/reduced lunch. A total of two fee waivers may be used while
in high school. All juniors will take the ACT free of charge at WEHS on March 1,
