We recommend that all students take the ACT or SAT at the END of their Junior year in high school and again at the BEGINNING of their senior year. This will allow for updated scores to be sent with college applications in October of each year.
All colleges and universities accept either exam. Students should choose the exam best for them. Please see the SAT or ACT comparison document attached below.
Juniors should take the exams in May. Seniors should complete the exams again in October. Please see the ACT and SAT testing calendar attached below.
All test registration is completed online. No paper forms are available. Payment must be made with a debit card, credit card or fee waiver. Please see the ACT and SAT registration procedures attached below.
College Board has made many new changes for the 2012-2013 school year. Beginning in March of 2013, all students must submit an electronic photo of themselves at the time of registration. This photo will be printed on their admission ticket for security purposes.
A student must have their admission ticket on test day. There are no exceptions to this rule.
These four items must be an EXACT match on test day:
1. Admission ticket information (name, birth date, photo)
2. Photo ID presented (driver's license or ID card/name and information)
3. Test center roster information (name, birth date)
4. You, the tester!
