NOTE: about COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS!!!
The UC and CSU have decided to suspend the SAT/ACT requirements until further notice.
If you plan to apply to private colleges/universities, check their individual websites to learn which schools require/do not require SAT/ACT.
Counselors still encourage you to take the PSAT/SAT/ACT during your Junior year. Submitting test scores can only enhance your college application; no points will be deducted. Plus, some scholarships may still require test scores as one of the eligibility requirements.
