College Admissions Tests

I hope that all of my junior students have registered to take one of the college admissions tests (ACT or SAT) this spring. If you haven't signed up for one of the tests yet, it isn't too late, but the deadlines are here so it is important to register now!

The remaining test dates for this spring are:

SAT - June 1, 2013
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, May 7th
Late Registration Deadline: May 22nd
Register online at http://www.collegeboard.com/

ACT - June 8, 2013
Registration Deadline: Friday, May 3rd (Tomorrow!)
Late Registration Deadline: May 17th
Register online at http://www.actstudent.org/
(Don't forget to sign up for the ACT plus Writing!)

To answer some of the more frequent questions I have had lately about the test dates -
- Yes, I know that the tests are right after exams and school ends. Sorry, I can't control that for you.

- Yes, I know that some of you are leaving town on the same day as a test date. You know what you can and cannot control and if you cannot go to camp (or vacation or whatever else you have planned) late then you will not be able to test on that date. You can consider the option of arriving to your intended location early and taking the test there if that works for your family...

- Yes, there are test dates in the fall so that you can take or repeat a test at that time. 

-  No, there are not any dates over the summer.

If you have any other questions about the ACT or SAT visit the ACT and SAT websites or stop in my office and see me.
