SAT

Certain colleges that require the SAT I also require the SAT II for placement purposes. Applications for these tests are in the Counseling Center. However, it is recommended that you register online because you will receive a quicker response. If you are mailing the application, you are responsible for mailing it with your check to the testing company approximately 6 weeks before the test is to be given.

For testing dates, registration, and further information please contact www.collegeboard.com.
