Colby requires one of the following three options: the SAT, the ACT, OR two SAT Subject Tests in different subject areas of the applicant's choice.  Candidates planning to submit ACT results are encouraged to take the ACT with the optional writing test component. Candidates planning to submit the redesigned SAT are encouraged to take the SAT with the optional writing test component. If you take the same version of the test more than once, report all of your subscores so we may superscore your results.

Applicants may self-report standardized test scores. Students will be asked to submit their official scores only if they choose to enroll at Colby.
