SAT & ACT School Day Information and Registration

SAT Weekend Testing and technology: 

As previously communicated, the Bluebook app used to access the SAT exam will not work on LISD-issued devices at SAT testing centers outside of our district due to security settings set by other districts. This is because the security settings of LISD-issued devices may not be compatible with another district’s Wi-Fi. Though the College Board website states that students can download the Bluebook app ahead of time, the app will not work on LISD devices outside of our district due to these security settings. Because of this, we want to encourage all students to bring their personal device or request a device from the College Board when taking the SAT outside of LISD.

Requesting a Device from College Board
If your student does not have access to a personal device, the College Board may be able to lend them a device for use on test day. Students should first register for their desired test day and location, and then the option to select “Request a Device” will appear as part of their registration information on My SAT. It is recommended to request a device at least 30 days before test day to allow for shipping. For more information on requesting a device from the College Board, click HERE. 

If your student is taking the SAT at one of the testing centers within LISD, they may use their school-issued device.

HB 3 dictates that Texas students will be given the opportunity to take either the SAT, ACT, or TSI test ONCE for free, paid for by the state.  In connection with this, LISD/FMHS is conducting the SAT and ACT school day test.  We will only offer the SAT once in the Fall (seniors) and the ACT in the Spring (juniors/seniors) and it will be given DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.   If you would like to test for the SAT or the  ACT or on another date, you will need to contact College Board or ACT (see below for links to their sites). 

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SAT AND ACT TESTING

SAT and ACT Testing:  The SAT and ACT are standardized, objective tests that are required for entrance into four-year colleges and universities. Your scores show colleges how ready you are to handle the work at their institutions and how your skills compare with other applicants. As a high school Junior, you should be preparing to take these exams during the spring of your Junior year or at the latest, fall of your Senior year.
