    Recommended Standardized Tests for Seniors

    SAT or ACT

    • Colleges will take SAT or ACT scores. They do NOT require both and there is no preference for either.
    • You should have already taken the SAT during junior year. If you would like to re-test, you may register on your own at www.collegeboard.com
    • If you would like to take the ACT, register on your own at www.actstudent.org

     

    SAT II Subject Tests

    • NOT NEEDED by any college in Michigan
    • Only needed if you are applying to a HIGHLY SELECTIVE university (like Harvard).
    • Students must register for SAT II Subject tests on their own through CollegeBoard.
    • Colleges will specify if they require the SAT II Subject tests, so do your research!

     

    AP Tests

    • Students will register for the AP tests in Fall. Students are provided a code from their AP teacher to register for the exams through CollegeBoard. For more information about AP tests, visit the Advanced Placement page on the Counseling website.

    • Hello Stevenson Seniors and Families,
       
      Seniors can begin completing the 25-26 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) beginning December 1st.
       
      The FAFSA is required for all students who would like state and federal financial aid for two-year and four-year colleges and for the skilled trades programs and hot jobs certificates offered at Macomb Community College.
       
      To be ready to complete the FAFSA when it opens, we recommend creating your Federal Student Aid (FSA) account in November, using this link:
       
       
      Each senior and at least one parent/guardian will need an account.  Parents with older kids in college may already have an account.
       
      If you are wondering how many parents/step-parents in a family will need an account, this chart may help:
       
       
      For more Financial Aid info, you can visit Stevenson's Counseling page:
       
    • Stevenson counselors are here to help!  Contact us with any questions 🙂
