  • Fee waivers are available if the cost of testing presents a hardship. Please see your Guidance Counselor for assistance.

  • Khan Academy Free SAT Prep: Although it isn’t necessary to prep for the SATs/ACTs, students may benefit from utilizing Khan Academy, which can be done from home. Most students are familiar with this tool and have used it in the classroom. They can create a personalized practice plan based on PSAT/SAT scores by linking Khan Academy with CollegeBoard.

  • Sending SAT & ACTs: If you’re self-reporting test scores to colleges, most require that they also be sent “officially” through CollegeBoard or ACT.org using the Send Scores option. Students are responsible for sending scores as colleges don’t accept scores from high schools. There is a $12 fee per report to send SATs and $18 per report to send ACTs, if not done at the time of registration. Fee waivers do cover unlimited requests.

  • Although many colleges remain test optional, we recommend students take both the SAT and ACT tests and then repeat the stronger test. Be aware that some colleges still require testing (FL state schools, MIT, and some programs within certain colleges - nursing, forensics, engineering, honors programs). Strong scores can help in admissions and also in qualifying for merit aid.
