Step 3: Take the SSAT (Optional)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n
\n

While Williston will not require applicants to submit standardized test scores when applying, students are welcome to submit a standardized test score to satisfy our testing requirement. We also recognize that standardized testing is a strength for some of our applicants \u2013 applicants are welcome to submit any scores and encouraged to submit educational testing as part of their application.<\/p>\n

For proper class placement purposes, we require students who do not identify English as their first language to submit results from the TOEFL, Duolingo, or a similar English language proficiency test (we do not accept the SLEP or Junior TOEFL). We also recommend that these students take the SSAT, but individual students can also communicate with their admission interviewer about a possible waiver of the SSAT. If a student has studied in an English-speaking school for three or more years, the English language proficiency testing requirement can also be waived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
