Tests

ACT  

All juniors will take the ACT Test in the spring of their junior year. Students may take the ACT Test multiple times at various locations by signing up through act.org but DaVinci Academy only offers it to juniors in the spring. 

The ACT assists students in the transition from high school to post-secondary education by providing information that can be used for admission, scholarships, course placement, advising and planning. The ACT may be taken multiple times. The highest composite score will be accepted by any college, regardless of date sequence.


Students will receive twelve scores on the ACT Assessment - four test scores, seven sub-scores and a composite score in the following areas:

  • English (Usage/Mechanics and Rhetorical Skills) 
  • Mathematics (Pre-Algebra/Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra/Coordinate Geometry, and Plane Geometry/Trigonometry) 
  • Reading (Social Studies/Sciences; Arts/Literature) 
  • Science Reasoning (Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry and Physics)

SAT

SAT and SAT Subject Tests - The SAT is a similar college-entry test to the ACT.  It is frequently required by private colleges, and many state colleges on the east and west coasts.  It is not offered at DaVinci, but may be taken at Weber State University after registering online.  

SAT Subject tests are required for some colleges in specific subjects, and are frequently used for placement at the college level.
