SAT/ACT
Make sure that you sign up for the ACT and the SAT. You need to do this by December for the colleges to accept your scores. If you qualify for a fee waiver, please see your counselor. Because we got the fee waivers late this year, you can still sign up for the October 10th date if you sign up for the SAT by September 25th. Sign up for Collegeboard for the Sat and ACT.org for the ACT
