Free College Entrance Assessments for 3rd and 4th year students
The ACT and SAT will be offered during the school day at AC Flora in March 2024. All 3rd and 4th year students have the opportunity to take either the ACT® or the SAT® at no cost, paid for by the state. The ACT and the SAT are college entrance exams used by some colleges and universities in admitting students. Scores may also be used for eligibility for state-funded scholarships such as the Life Scholarship and the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship. Taking either test is optional. These tests will be administered during the school day. The ACT will be administered at AC Flora on March 12, 2024, and the SAT will be administered on March 13, 2024.
To sign a student up to take either the ACT or the SAT at no charge, parents/guardians must complete this form and indicate the test desired. Parents/guardians who do not want your student to take either exam, please select that option. The deadline to submit a request for college entrance assessment is Monday, December 18, 2023. If this form is not submitted by the deadline, your student will not take either test.
