Postsecondary Readiness

KNOW THE SCORES!

Dual Enrollment eligibility scores, Postsecondary Ready scores needed for seniors, and MINIMUM scores for admissions to a community or state college:

SAT		ACT		PERT
Critical Reading *	440	Reading *	18	Reading *	104
Math *	440	Math *	19	Math *	113
		English	17	Writing	99

*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	460	Reading	19
Math	460	Math	19
Writing	440	English/Writing	18

Ø  These are MINIMUM scores, many state universities will require higher score for admissions purposes.

Ø  GPA , rigor of courses taken, extracurricular activities and community involvement will also be taken into consideration.

Ø  Please visit the Bright Futures Scholarship website for information on scores needed for scholarship eligibility
