SAT Tests
Georgia Highlands College does not administer the National SAT. Visit the SAT website at www.collegeboard.com/ to find a local testing site, get general testing information, and register for the exam. The National SAT is given many times throughout the academic year. The National SAT may be taken more than once.
The On-Campus SAT
The On-Campus SAT is offered as an "emergency" test for those needing an SAT score to meet certain program requirements. The On-Campus SAT is usually given just before nursing/dental hygiene application deadlines. The On-Campus SAT may be taken only once in a three-year period.
