Many colleges require students to take a college-placement test, such as those provided by the College Board and ACT. It is recommended that every student take the ACT and SAT at least once Junior year (Spring semester) and once Senior year (Fall semester). This gives colleges and scholarship organizations multiple test scores to work with for super scoring and eligibility.
