<p>TEST SCORES
UC system changing how it evaluates SAT, ACT results</p>

<p>The University of California announced changes this week in the way it evaluates test scores when determining whether students are eligible for admission to its 10 campuses.</p>

<p>The changes, affecting prospective freshmen for fall 2007, will not alter who becomes eligible but instead will ensure that scores from all standardized tests are treated equally, according to UC.</p>

<p>Instead of converting ACT results to equivalent SAT scores, applicants will convert their ACT or SAT results into a new "UC Score" on a 0-100 scale. The combination of a student's UC Score and grade-point average will determine their eligibility.</p>

<p>An online calculator to compute the UC Score can be found at <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/scholarshipreq%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/scholarshipreq&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>Applications for fall 2007 will be accepted beginning in November.</p>
