OHIO GRADUATION TESTS
The State of Ohio law requires that the CLASS OF 2007 and beyond pass the Ohio Graduation Test and NOT the Ohio Proficiency Test.  Students will begin taking the tests in the Spring of their Sophomore year and may continue to take any section that they do not pass until May of their Senior year. If you have questions regarding the OGT, see your counselor or click on the OGT link to the left.

SAT - Sign up for the REASONING TEST
The SAT now contains a WRITING section. In the past there have only been two scored sections - Math and English: Now there will be the Math, Critical Reading and Writing. Scores in the past have been 200-800 for each section with a total of 1600 composite. Scores will still be 200-800 BUT since there are 3 sections there will be a composite total of 2400. All students who take the SAT are required to take the Writing section, but how the Writing score is used depends on the college. Please talk to colleges of interest about how they handle these scores. For more information on the changes visit the SAT website.

ACT
The ACT is also has a Writing section. This section, unlike the SAT, will be optional. Even though this section is optional, some schools will be requiring it, so our best advice to you is to take the writing section. It make take a little extra time initially BUT it will save you a whole lot of time in the long run.
