SAT/ACT

Juniors took the PSAT (practice SAT) in October and sometime just before Christmas break, I should get the results. I will interpret them to your students in small group settings and let you know when you should expect them home. In the meantime, I would like for you to encourage your son or daughter to look at both the SAT and ACT website and select two dates to take exams between now and next summer. They are as follows: SAT is www.collegeboard.com and ACT is www.act.org . You can register on-line to take these exams and have them sent to the colleges that you may be interested in applying to next fall. The earlier you register for the exams in the spring, the more likely you are to get your first seat choice!! If you have questions, please call me.

SAT and ACT Registration

Junior Parents and Teachers,

It's hard to believe that finals are just around the corner and we will be returning to your students' 6th semester!! The 6th semester is a critical one for several reasons. First, it is the last semester of grades that a college will review when making admission decisions for our students. Next, it is the semester during which juniors will plan their senior year of courses. Finally, it is the semester that all juniors should sit for the ACT and/or the SAT.

These exams are given monthly through June, however, I do not recommend that any students schedule themselves to take either exam during May (finals time). You can register on line for both of these exams: SAT - www.collegeboard.com and ACT - www.act.org

The earlier you register for an exam, the more likely you are to get your first seat choices, so please do this over break, if possible. March is a great time to take both tests, but it is a popular time.

I have PSAT books for those of you who want to use them to study with your results. Please come and request your book from my office. I also have a DVD program in my office that you can utilize during your study halls or before or after school to prepare for the exams. Schedule some time with Mrs. Williams to take a look at the prep program. The seniors have been pleased with it and their scores.

Have a great holiday break.
