Standardised Testing
ISBerne is not a test centre for the SAT nor the ACT. Students must make independent arrangements outside of school to take these tests. There is limited opportunity to take the ACT in Switzerland. Given the variety of mother-tongue languages, cultures, scholastic backgrounds, and destinations of our students, we do not use standardised tests nor are students exposed or accustomed to multiple choice testing.
