SAT - VALID Photo ID Required

Amarillo College serves as a Testing Center for the SAT. The SAT program has two components: SAT Reasoning and SAT II Subject Test. Both measure skills important for academic success, and are often used to grant admission, credit, and/or placement in college.

The SAT Reasoning Assessment measures Verbal, Mathematic, and Writing Skills, and is often used as a criterion for admission to colleges and universities. SAT II assessments measure specific skills in different subject areas. Credit or placement into various courses may be earned.

Although neither the ACT nor the SAT is required for the admission to Amarillo College, academic credit may be awarded based upon scores achieved. The policies and scores required to earn credit by examination for the SAT assessment are described below:

•Students must file an official score report and a petition for credit with the
Registrar’s Office in order to receive credit by examination.

•Grades are not recorded for credit earned by examination.
