Standardized Tests
SENIORS:
- Register and take the SAT (hopefully for the 2nd time) in October or November. If paying for the test is a problem, ask your school counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver. - Pick up a copy of the latest study guide in guidance and use the online test prep sites listed below to get the best scores you can! - Test Results must be sent to your colleges from the College Board. SHS does not send official scores. JUNIORS: - Take the PSAT in October. Register ASAP and pick up a study guide in guidance. - Register and take the SAT in May or June. These sites can help you decide whether you should sign up for the SAT or the ACT: http://www.princetonreview.com/sat-act.aspx http://www.studypoint.com/ed/act-vs-sat/ http://greatcollegeadvice.com/sat-act-what-is-the-real-difference/ |

SAT Subject Tests
Should you take an SAT Subject Test?
The SAT Subject Tests offer you an additional opportunity to show colleges what you know and what you know you can do.
Many colleges use the SAT Subject Tests for admission, for course placement, and to advise students about course selection. Some colleges specify the SAT Subject Tests that they require for admission or placement; others allow applicants to choose which tests to take.
