Score 1650 on the SAT or 24 on the ACT

Scoring at least 1650 on the SAT (maximum score 2400) or 24 on the ACT (maximum score 36) college entrance exams helps students gain acceptance to the colleges of their choice.  It minimizes the chance that students will have to take remedial courses in college and it also increases their chances of earning a college degree.  In preparation for the SAT, MCPS offers all 10th grade students the opportunity to take the PSAT (preliminary SAT) free of charge.
