SAT FACTS

· The SAT has 3 sections: Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. A perfect score on the SAT is a 2400.

· Most students take the SAT for the first time during the spring of their junior year and a second time during the fall of their senior year.

· You can send your SAT scores to four schools for free. Make sure to make your selection of schools when registering. If you want to send it to more than four schools it will cost $10.50 per score report. Some colleges will accept SAT scores that are printed on your official high school transcript. If this is the case save money by having the guidance office send your official transcript instead.

· See the guidance office if you would like to register for the test by mail. Always remember that the deadline for registration is usually a month before the test date. Don’t be late or you will have to pay high late fee costs.

· If you have a financial hardship, please talk to the guidance office about the possibility of a fee waiver.

SAT SUBJECT TESTS

SAT Subject Tests are hour-long, content-based tests that allow you to showcase achievement in specific subject areas where you excel. These are the only national admission tests where you choose the tests that best showcase your achievements and interests. SAT Subject Tests allow you to differentiate yourself in the college admission process or send a strong message regarding your readiness to study specific majors or programs in college. In conjunction with your other admission credentials (your high school record, SAT scores, teacher recommendations, etc.), they provide a more complete picture of your academic background and interests. There are 20 SAT Subject Tests in five general subject areas: English, history, languages, mathematics and science. Some colleges and universities require these subject tests as part of the admissions process. The schools that usually require them are the more competitive schools. Go to the admissions webpage or talk to an admissions counselor at your school of choice to see if these exams are required. (Information taken from the College Board Website).

IMPORTANT: It is best to take the SAT subject exams as soon as you have completed the equivalent high school course. If you wanted to take the Biology SAT Subject test, you would want to take this exam in your sophomore year upon completing your Biology course.
