College Testing

The ACT is a standardized college admissions test measuring English, math, reading, and science reasoning skills, with homeschool students registering the same way as traditional students using the universal homeschool code.

AP exams are standardized tests from College Board that let homeschool students earn college credit and demonstrate mastery of college-level coursework, with registration through local schools that administer the tests.

CLEP tests span 34 subjects across five categories—composition and literature, world languages, history and social sciences, science and math, and business—each offering 3-12 college credits for passing scores.

The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is a standardized college entrance exam accepted at over 300 colleges that emphasizes classic literature and logical reasoning, with convenient at-home testing options for homeschoolers.

The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is a standardized test that serves as SAT practice and the gateway to National Merit Scholarship competition, with homeschoolers registering through local high schools.

The PreACT is a standardized assessment from ACT, Inc. designed for students in grades 8-10 that provides early ACT-style test experience and predicts future ACT scores, helping identify academic strengths and areas needing improvement.

The SAT is a standardized college admissions test measuring reading, writing, and math skills. Scored on a 400-1600 scale, it's now administered digitally and takes about 2 hours and 14 minutes to complete.

SAT Subject Tests were one-hour, multiple-choice exams covering specific academic subjects like Math, Biology, and U.S. History. The College Board discontinued them in 2021, and AP exams are now the primary way to demonstrate subject-specific mastery.
