The California Department of Education and the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) urges all California high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA). Filing financial aid applications is the first step toward college success and helps eligible students qualify for federal, state, and campus-based aid as well as some private scholarships.

SAT
What is the SAT?
It's a standardized test that students can take before applying to colleges. The exam tests students on math, reading, and writing content by having students analyze and evaluate problems.
A student can score between 400-1600; the higher the score a student achieves, the better their chances are for college admission.
The test is offered through an organization called the CollegeBoard, which also offers other standardized exams such as the PSAT/NMSQT and AP exams. A student must register on the CollegeBoard's website to take the test.
ACT
What is the ACT?
It's a standardized test that students can take before applying to colleges. The exam tests students on math, reading, writing, and a bit of science content by having students analyze and evaluate problems.
A student can score between 1-36; the higher the score a student achieves, the better their chances are for college admission.
The test is offered through the ACT company, and a student must register through their website to take the exam.
