The three parts of the SAT are each scored on a scale from 200 to 800 and are only an approximate measure of ability or achievement. Seniors who plan to go to college should take the SAT or the American College Test no later than December of their senior year. Registration information is available at www.collegeboard.com.
The American College Testing Program is accepted by all colleges/universities in lieu of the SAT. Application packets are available in the guidance department. Registration information is available online at www.act.org. Note: Financial assistance is available for any student whose economic circumstances make it difficult to pay for the PSAT, SAT, or ACT.

IMPORTANT Testing INFORMATION
IMPORTANT Testing INFORMATION
Due to unexpected issues with the CollegeBoard’s BlueBook app on school issued devices, we recommend that students taking a weekend SAT request a device from the CollegeBoard. Support for District Seven student MacBooks is not provided over the weekends, and especially when the device is on another organization’s network. The underlying issue is with how BlueBook sends out frequent updates the same week of a test that aren’t delivered on-time to student devices.
To avoid any morning-of-test issues during a weekend administration, we recommend using a family-owned device or request one from the CollegeBoard using the process outlined below:

Updating BlueBook on District Seven MacBooks
Students should be sure that their BlueBook is updated at least a week before any PSAT, SAT or Advanced Placement exam. Confirm you have the latest version by opening BlueBook and signing into your College Board account. You will need to follow specific steps on a District Seven-owned MacBook.
Updating student’s BlueBook app is achieved by following these steps:
From the Mac system menu, choose the Filewave feather icon
Choose Device Info
Click Verify Device
The Mac will need a few hours plugged into a wall outlet and connected to the Internet to complete the update wirelessly.
Students should visit the Technology help desk during the school day if they have trouble after waiting a day for the update to complete.
