ACT / SAT Information

All Aucilla Christian students are required to take either the ACT or SAT prior to graduating. We encourage everyone to take it at least once during their junior year, preferably in the fall, so they know where they stand and what they need to work on for scholarship and recruiting purposes.

ATTENTION ATHLETES: If you are an Aucilla Christian athlete interested in playing collegiate sports, you NEED to take the ACT or SAT at the end of your sophomore year or beginning of your junior year for recruiting purposes! When you take your ACT or SAT, you need to enter "9999" as one of the institutions where you want your scores sent. This will allow the test company to send them directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center.

Register and get additional information regarding your test dates, fees, scores and more
at the
ACT Student Site and SAT Student Site, or see Kevin Harvin for registration packets and additional help.
