*Counts for the Postsecondary Readiness portion of your school’s grade.

What does it mean to you if you are NOT postsecondary ready?

Ø  If you do not have Postsecondary Ready scores by the start of your senior year the state requires that you be scheduled into remedial courses in Reading, Writing and/or Math to help you become Postsecondary Ready by the time you graduate.
Ø  There is no waiver for this state requirement. You will be losing opportunities for electives.
Ø  After graduation, if you enroll at a community or state college you will have to take additional remedial courses, PAY for the remedial courses (they may not be covered by financial aid), and you WILL NOT receive college credit for the remedial courses.

MINIMUM Admissions Scores required for the
State University System (SUS):
SAT

ACT

Critical Reading
