ACT Requirements and Resources
ACT Requirements
An ACT composite score of 21 is required for initial admission to the Teacher Education
Program. This is a composite score from tests in four subject areas: English, Math,
Reading, and Science. For more information on ACT test administrations on the Southern
campus, please visit: www.southern.edu/administration/student-success/testing/act.html
Passing scores on all three Praxis Core tests are an option for admission to the Teacher Education Program at Southern Adventist University if the ACT benchmark has not been met. For information about the content and structure of the Praxis Core tests, visit the ETS website.
In addition to in-person support available in Southern's Tutoring Center, the teacher education program is pleased to provide access to test preparation courses for both ACT and Praxis Core, offered by Study.com. This robust test preparation tool will assess your current likelihood of passing the ACT/Praxis Core and give you an individually-tailored study guide.
