Notes:
• Using Multiple Tests:  Students can use scores from different tests for exemption.  For example, a student can qualify for math using TAKS Math.  That same student can qualify for Reading using SAT Critical Reading. 

• Composite Score Explanation:  To use SAT or ACT scores, students must meet the composite score on ACT or SAT first, THEN consider the skill area.
