ACT and SAT are college entrance exams. Many colleges require students
to take and earn a certain score in order to gain admittance to their
schools. In some states, the ACT is now required for all juniors. In
Alaska, it remains an optional test. As a result, Alaska scores may
tend to be higher on average than in states where all students, college
bound and not, are required to take the test. In 2005-2006, 44 students
took the ACT and 188 students took the SAT.
