State Minimum Program Admission Test Scores

Introduction

Minimum Test Scores

 

This document represents the minimum admissions entrance scores for ASSET, ACT and SAT.  The ACT and SAT scores are the enhanced and centered versions of these assessment tools.  The ASSET scores are based upon information provided by other Southeastern states as well as research completed in Georgia after having used the ASSET for two years.

 

Please note that program admissions levels are directly linked to the entry core courses as required by a specific program.  Additionally, the program specific ASSET entrance scores listed in the following document are minimums, and higher scores may be required at the discretion of each institution.

 

If a certain program is not included in the matrix immediately following, the appropriate cut score can be identified by selecting the required core courses included on the last page of this document.
