ACCUPLACER
The Accuplacer test is required for admission to all 2-year Technical Colleges in the state of South Carolina. This test is administered by Midlands Technical College. For more information about registering to take the Accuplacer, and to access test preparation materials, please visit https://accuplacer.
ACT and SAT
Both ACT and SAT scores are used for 4-year college admissions decisions and awarding merit-based scholarships. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. Some health career programs at 2-year colleges also require the SAT or ACT for specific program admissions.
