Standardized Testing

To help prepare students for the college admission process, Hotchkiss administers most standardized tests throughout the academic year.

The SAT Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject tests are required at most colleges, and most students take at least one Advanced Placement exam while they are here. Many colleges accept the ACT in place of the SAT Reasoning and/or the SAT Subject tests; individual testing plans should be discussed with the student's college advisor.

It is important to remember, however, that testing is merely one factor that colleges consider when evaluating a student for admissions. Most colleges look first at a student's course selection, followed by his/her academic achievement in those courses.
