VA homeschoolers--Can I use the SAT as my high school end of year test?


Recommended Posts

Hi Chris,

 

In NC, the SAT cannot be used for accountability purposes since it is considered an aptitude test. The ACT, on the other hand, is permitted.

 

There has been much discussion on the Internet that the SAT is becoming more like the ACT. So...why not use it if your state permits it??

It completely depends on your state. Our old home state of MS had no testing requirements at all. Our new state of TN is currently trying to invalidate all high school diplomas given to homeschoolers. Homeschoolers are trying to combat this by granting valid diplomas for high school homeschool coursework, as signed off by parents, AND an ACT score of 16 (currently the equivalent of a C average and the same minimum score required by most high school athletes to enter college athletic programs). Anyway, every state is EXTREMELY different. The HSLDA website, I think, has requirements for each state, or at least links for you to find out.
