the SAT or some will take either. Also, select colleges require the ACT
Test plus the Writing section. If the school you are interested in requires
the writing portion of the ACT you will have to register to take this
test on your own. It is not part of the ACT test that is given to the
juniors here at FRHS in the spring. Keep in mind that spaces are limited
for this test and you may have to drive out of your way to take this test.
