NOTE:  about COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS!!!
The UC and CSU have decided to discontinue the SAT/ACT  exam requirements as part of the college admission requirements.  However, if you plan to take the exam, its scores can be used by UC and CSU as English/Math course placement.
 
If you apply to private colleges/universities, check their individual websites to learn which schools still require the SAT/ACT and which schools discontinue the entrance exam requirement.
 
Counselors still encourage you to take the PSAT/SAT/ACT during your Junior year.  Submitting test scores can only enhance your college application, not hinder it.  Plus, some scholarships may still require test scores as one of the eligibility requirements.
