College Placement Testing
College Placement Testing
The ACT and SAT are standardized college entrance exams used by many colleges and universities as part of the admissions process. Both tests measure skills students develop in high school, including reading, writing, and mathematics, and the ACT also includes a science section. Students can use their scores to demonstrate academic readiness, and some colleges may consider test scores when making admissions, scholarship, or course-placement decisions. Because testing policies vary by college, students should check the requirements of the schools they are interested in before deciding whether to take the ACT, SAT, or both.
The ACT Test is a college entrance exam made up of four sections: English, Reading, Math, and Science. Writing is an optional part of the exam, but in most cases should be taken. The maximum score on each section is a 36. The four sections are averaged together to get a composite score. This composite score is what we generally talk about as an ACT score, average for a college bound student is about a 20. You may register at www.act.org.

The SAT college entrance exam consists of three sections: Critical Reading, Math and Writing. A perfect score for each is an 800. When we hear people talk of their SAT scores they combine these for the score. A 500 Verbal, a 500 Math, and a 500 Writing would give you a 1500 SAT score.

Oakstone Academy’s CEEB code is 365480.A “high school testing code” for college exams is a unique identifier for your high school, known as a CEEB code (or College Board School Code) for the College Board (which administers the SAT and AP tests), or an ACT High School Code for ACT exams. These 6-digit codes, like a 6-digit identifier, are required on college applications and test registrations to ensure that scores, transcripts, and other materials are sent to the correct college or university.
Even if your high school has a formal partnership with a local college to offer specific CCP courses, students may enroll in CCP courses from any participating Ohio college or university, including online courses, provided the courses support their future academic goals.
Eligible students may take college courses and earn credit that appears on both their high school and college transcripts. Teachers who instruct CCP courses within a high school must meet college faculty qualifications, including serving as adjunct instructors and completing required professional development.
All CCP courses—whether taught on a college campus, online, or at a high school—must be identical to the courses offered by the college, apply toward a degree or professional certificate, and meet institutional academic standards. With the exception of CTAG courses, all CCP courses carry weighted grades and are calculated into the student’s GPA.
