Upcoming SAT and ACT test dates for DP Students

Many European, Asian, and North American Universities require the SAT or ACT as a part of their application process for International Students. Most DP1 students should be taking advantage of the upcoming dates to demonstrate their academic readiness for higher education:

SAT REGISTRATION:			ACT REGISTRATION:
	SAT Test Date	SAT Registration Deadline		ACT Test Date	ACT Registration Deadline

TOEFL and IELTS

It is often a Student Visa or University Program Requirement for students who do not hold a passport from a country where English is not the national language to present the results of an English language examination with their college applications. The two most common tests are the US based TOEFL or the UK based IELTS. Most of our students find these to be simple. It is best for students to take these in advance of starting the DP2 year.
