Is one standardized test preferred over another?
Hendrix affirms its desire to evaluate students on a holistic basis and thus will continue to utilize standardized test scores as one component of the application review. We will accept either the old SAT I or /ACT or the new SAT Reasoning Test or ACT with optional Writing Test. We show no preference on which test or version is taken, but we strongly encourage all applicants to take one or both of the tests during their senior year. If you’ve taken both tests, we’ll use the score of the one on which you’ve performed better. Additionally, Hendrix utilizes a method called “super-scoring” in which sub-scores from multiple tests are combined to form the highest composite score.
