Students at WHS will take the PSATs in Spring of 10th grade, fall of 11th grade and then the SATs in the spring of 11th grade as part of the NH State required School Day testing. For the School Day testing, students are signed up via the State.
Students will need to create a CollegeBoard Account to access their scores, sign up for non-school day testing and send the scores to colleges.
If students want to take the test again on their own, they must register and pay through their personal CollegeBoard account.

If a college requires standardized test scores OR you decide to send them to Test Optional Schools, either the SAT or ACT will be accepted.

Test Optional?
As you decide on the colleges you will apply to, check if they are test optional for admissions and for merit aid (scholarships). Also, make sure they are test optional for the major you are applying to.
If your scores are in the average admitted range or higher, sending your scores may help your application and you can decide to have the CollegeBoard send your scores.
If your scores are on the low average side or below, you can decide to not send your scores.
If a school is test optional, it does not mean that not sending your scores will "look bad." They will just not use test scores as a factor.
Test Required: You must send test scores to be considered. Unless otherwise specified, you must send the scores from your CollegeBoard account (see Send Scores) directly to the college. It costs $15 per school.
Test Blind: Admissions will not look at test scores at all.

When you meet with Melinda Shofner, we will discuss which schools to chose to be test optional to (if any) and how to properly set up the applications.
Fairtest.org keeps a list of colleges that are test optional. The college websites will also have updated information.
