Standardized Test Instructions


Entrance examinations are an important part of the college-bound process.  Therefore, all Walnut Hills juniors should take both the SAT and the ACT at least once.  Universities do not require students to submit both SAT and ACT scores.  However, because the tests - and students - differ considerably, score percentiles might be higher on one or the other!
