College Testing
SAT/ACT Registration Information
Email Ms Sabet if you qualify to receive an SAT or ACT fee waiver code.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The College Board has announced that registration is "live" for the March, May, and June Weekend SAT. Newton South is a test center for all three of these test dates, but it is important to note that seats for the test administration are available to anyone looking to register for the SAT, regardless of what school they attend or what town they reside in. If you are planning to take the SAT and hope to test at Newton South, we advise you complete your registration sooner than later.
If you have questions about the SAT program in general, you can find answers to all of your questions on The College Board website. You may also access an approximate timeline suggested for students in the Class of 2025 anticipating applying to four year colleges during their senior year. Members of the Class of 2025 who plan to take an SAT and submit scores to colleges will typically register for one (or sometimes two) of the spring test dates.
As always, please reach out to Ms. Sabet in the College & Career Center or to your student's School Counselor if you have any questions.

College Affordability
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year is now available periodically through a soft launch period.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOFT LAUNCH
Students may be unable to access the FAFSA due to periods of maintenance downtime throughout January. The form is expected to be fully available later in January and February. There is still plenty of time to submit the FAFSA before the March 15th priority deadline.
Although students may be able to complete the form, FSA will not transmit their FAFSA to any institution until late January.
Upon submission, students will receive a confirmation email noting their submission date, estimated Student Aid Index (SAI), and estimated Federal Pell Grant eligibility.
Students will receive an email when their FAFSA Submission Summary is available to view online.
Learn more about the soft launch period here.
All students and parents contributing to the FAFSA will need an FSA ID. If they don't already have one, they can create an account here.
