Standardized Testing Requirement

PHEA strongly recommends standardized testing for students in high school. The parents may choose any of the national tests (eg:  Stanford, Iowa, SAT, ACT) to meet this recommendation. BJU Press operates a testing center that provides standardized testing services. For the ACT (ACT.org) or SAT (collegeboard.org), one would need to sign up on the respective website. We strongly recommend that your student take the PSAT in 10th or 11th grade. The 11th grade PSAT is the qualifier test for the National Merit Scholarship. We encourage you to have your student take the SAT or ACT in their junior and/or senior year. If the parent feels that the junior year SAT or ACT scores are adequate, a senior year test would not be necessary. If there are any questions regarding testing issues, please contact us.

PLEASE USE PHEA'S CODE (410293) WHEN REGISTERING FOR THE SAT OR ACT.
