  • The ACT is a commonly accepted college admissions test with four sections: English, math, reading and science. There is an additional writing section which may be required by some universities. It is recommended that students take the ACT at least twice to try to get the best possible score.
  • The SAT is a college admission test with three sections: critical reading, math and writing. Less commonly used by Utah colleges and universities but accepted everywhere.
  • These tests are typically taken during the fall of a student's junior year and in the fall of their senior year.
