Fall ACT/ SAT Testing

The ACT/ SAT College Admissions tests have been completely frustrating for seniors who had hoped to test in the spring or summer.  Many colleges are giving the option of students applying "test optional" and we will talk more about that in great detail in the future.  But for tonight, I want to remind you that if you are planning on taking either the ACT or the SAT this fall you need to register ASAP... and you need to understand that there are very limited locations available for testing so you may be frustrated as you realize you will have to drive somewhere a distance away to be able to test.

For the September 26th SAT, today is the deadline to register without a late fee.  (Sorry that I'm just now getting this reminder posted for you.)

For the September ACT tests they now have 3 test dates: Saturday the 12th, Sunday the 13th and Saturday the 19th for students to pick from and the registration deadline for all 3 of those tests is Monday, August 31st.

In October the ACT will have 4 test dates (2 Saturday and 2 Sunday dates on back to back weekends) and the registration deadline for all of those is September 17th.

The SAT will have one test in October, one in November and one in December.  The registration deadline for the October SAT test is also next week, September 4th.

So, if you have spent part of your summer preparing for the ACT/ SAT or want to give it another shot knowing that most students tend to do better on the tests when they take them a 2nd time, watch your deadlines and make sure you sign up for a test date that works for you.
