Entry Tests

For NCAA and NAIA universities students must take a recognised university entry test. The most popular tests are the SAT and ACT. 

Most US universities recruit for entry in the Spring Semester commencing January. For entry to a golf program by January 2012 tests should ideally be taken in December 2010 or Janaury 2011 but no later than May 2011 if possible.

For entry in the Fall Semester of 2011 commencing September tests should ideally be taken in October or November 2010. Janaury 2011 testing is late but not too late for entry in Fall 2011.

Throughout the year SAT tests are available in June, October, November, December, Janaury and May. There are no tests available outside the USA in March. 

Testing after the January test date is definitely late for entry in the same year as the majority of scholarships are issued during February and March. US coaches quickly lose interest in players who have not taken an Entry Test and have the results at least 6 months prior to Admission.
