PSAT Information

PSAT results will be distributed in Social Studies classes in the end of February.

We encourage all college bound sophomores and juniors to take this test. It is good practice for the SAT test and if students perform well on it as juniors, they can qualify for National Merit Scholarships.

SAT/ACT

Registration materials for the SAT and ACT are available in the Counseling Office.
Registration can also be done on-line at:
SAT
ACT 

Both sites also have other important information, including practice tests. The New SAT and the ACT are both tests used for college admissions. Arizona universities will accept scores from either test. If a students plans to attend a college or university outside of Arizona they should check with that school to determine which test they require. SAT Subject Tests are required by some out-of-state schools. Again, students need to check with the schools to
determine their requirements.

About Advanced Placement (AP) Classes
Sabino is proud to offer many different Advanced Placement (AP) classes. These AP classes are very rigorous and utilize a standard curriculum which is considered college level work. Students in these classes are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam at the end of the year, and may receive college credit depending on their score and college choice. AP scores range from 1-5. Colleges grant varied levels of credit depending on the score. Usually only scores of 3 or better are granted credit. Colleges look favorably towards admitting students who have challenged themselves with the rigor of AP classes. There is also a strong correlation between the number of AP classes a student takes in high school and their success in college. AP exams are administered by College Board and information about them is available on the College Board website.
