Navigating College Admission Testing

College admissions tests are a rite of passage for students. Most four-year colleges and universities rely on standardized tests to determine how ready applicants are for college-level work. Navigating the college admissions testing requirements can assist in the understanding of options for schools. Colleges have adopted widely varying approaches to the tests, so it is important to recognize and learn what tests are required and how the results are weighed.
