ACT & SAT Testing

La Salle offers the PSAT to 9th, 10th and 11th graders each year in the fall. Counselors typically recommend that most students take both the ACT and the SAT once during their junior year and then one of those exams, typically then one with the highest score, again as a senior. Students can also speak with their counselor about SAT subject tests.

 

Students can use this table to compare their ACT and SAT scores.

 ACT

The ACT contains multiple-choice tests in four areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science, as well as an optional writing test. Individual scores are given for each part of the test on a scale of 1-36, plus a composite score (the average of the four scores). The ACT exam is approximately 2 hours and 55 minutes long (or 3 hours and 35 minutes with the Writing section). The ACT test preparation booklet can be found here which includes a full-length practice test and test-taking strategies.

SAT

The SAT consists of two sections, Math and Evidenced-based Reading & Writing (ERW). There is an optional Writing section. The Math and ERW are scored on a scale of 1-800, with a composite score of both sections (an average of the two scores). The SAT exam is approximately 3 hours long (or 3 hours and fifty minutes with the Writing section). Full-length practice tests can be found here.
