What are the scholastic testing requirements?
All service academies require candidates to schedule and take the standardized timed version of either the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program exam or the College Board Admissions Testing Program Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). Academic evaluation is based on a strong performance on scholastic examination scores (ACT or SAT) and a candidate’s school record – class rank and transcripts. Each academy sets its own test score requirements on the SAT and ACT exams. Because the ACT and SAT tests are an important indicator of your academic ability, you should plan to take them early. Each of these tests has a slightly different emphasis. Although you are only required to take one of them, it is recommended that you should take both to reflect your true potential. You may take these tests several times to try to improve your scores – your highest scores will be accepted.
