Standardized Testing: SAT vs. ACT
For students who take both the SAT and the ACT, Claremont McKenna College will look at applicant scores using the following equivalency table. CMC only considers the highest scores on standardized test results. ACT test takers must take the ACT Writing Exam in order for the score to be accepted by the CMC Admission Office. Scores must be submitted via the appropriate testing agency. Copies, facsimiles, or score results submitted by high schools will not be accepted by the Admission Office.
