- It is helpful after taking an ACT and SAT to see which score will be viewed as higher to college admissions. We encourage students to take both ACT and SAT assessments at least once for college admissions purposes and merit-based scholarships during the student's junior year, ideally second semester or in the summer before their senior year. All WTHS Juniors are required to take the state SAT test in April as a graduation requirement. This is a test students will be pre-registered for and is an official SAT test.
