SAT

WHAT IS THE SAT?

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is a college entrance exam produced by College Board.  

All juniors are required to take the SAT as part of the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) administered in April during the school day, and is a graduation requirement.  

HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE SAT

All students in their junior year will take the SAT in April.  However, if students want to take or re-take the SAT on their own, they are able to do so but must register for the test, first.  Students may register to take the SAT through CollegeBoard's website.  Students must use their CollegeBoard account to login in order to register for a test date.   The cost for a weekend test date is $60.00.  

Fee waivers are available for students on free/reduced lunch.  Students must see their counselor to receive a fee waiver.  This website provides more information if you have any questions regarding the fee waivers.

Additional fees and payment information can be found here.

Bring a calculator with you to the test!  The testing center will not provide calculators for you.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR THE SAT?

CollegeBoard and Khan Academy have created a partnership that allows students to utilize free test preparation for the SAT.  When students create an account with CollegeBoard (www.collegeboard.org) and Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org/sat) and link them together, students are able to utilize free and individualized test preparation based off their PSAT 9 and 10 test results.  

The Daily Practice App is another tool that students can utilize to prep for the SAT.  All Wayland students already have this app pre-loaded onto their iPads! 

Additional SAT practice can be found on CollegeBoard's website: SAT Practice and Preparation.
