I dropped out of high school when I was 14, however I did receive my GED later that year, and went on to vocational school. I am now a LPN, but I would like to go on to college and receive a degree, one that is not in the nursing field. (Now that I have the time, money, and ambition.) Should I look into SAT/ACT testing? Is it required, or will it at least benefit my college transcripts? I love learning and tests do not bother me in the slightest, so it would not be a problem to take them. Thank you, in advance, for any and all answers you can provide me with.

I would say yes. But really, it depends on the university/college you are applying to. Some require certain tests, like the SAT I or SAT II, and some don't require any.
You can check online at the colleges you are interested in to see what their requirements are.
Remember, it NEVER hurts to have more than you need. Chances are, the college you're interested in will require some form of the tests. If, however, another school does not, having the test score on your transcipt when you apply to that other school will put you that much ahead of everyone else.
Good luck!

Whether or not the SAT or ACT is required and which one is required depends on the college/university you wish to apply to. Even if not required it could benefit you. My daughter took both before skipping the last two years of HS and going on directly to college. There are a wide variety of preparation/study guides for both that you might find useful. Most schools look at them, some require one or the other, but if you do well on them they may open opportunities otherwise closed to you.

Depending on how long you've been out of school, the school you are applying to may or may not require standardized testing. Contact the admissions office of any school you might apply to and ask about their individual requirements for students in your situation(be sure to give them lots of specifics-i.e. that you have a GED and LPN and how long you have been out of school) Typically, students take the ACT if they are planning to go to an in-state school and the SAT if they are planning to go out of state, although many schools may accept either, both or only one--it all depends. Good luck and congrats on making the decision to go back to school!

Yeah I observed that. I additionally observed the only that mentioned people who pay attention to trance have the utmost IQs, and the only that mentioned people who like the Beatles are companies to low try scores, and the only that mentioned the utmost scoring human beings are those that pay attention especially much fullyyt to jazz. i don't positioned lots inventory in those forms of "learn" .... or perhaps though in the event that they become extremely genuine, i'm especially confident there is so lots extra to it than 'listening to rap = low try scores'.

Check with the colleges you want to enroll, some colleges don't require either.

If you feel that you'd do well, take it. Otherwise, talk to a councilor at the college that you'd like to attend.
