If you have not already done so - you should register as soon as possible for the SAT Test this Spring. There are two test dates left for you to register for: May 6 (registration deadline: April 3, 2006; late registration: April 12, 2006); June 3 (registration deadline: April 28, 2006; late registration: May 10, 2006).
The most efficient way to register is online at www.collegeboard.com. You will need to create a user name and password. Keep this information somewhere safe as you will need it throughout the college process. To register online, you will need either access to a credit card or a 12 digit fee waiver code. If you are eligible for a fee waiver (if you receive free or reduced lunch at school) come to the college office for a fee waiver). IF YOU ARE USING A FEE WAIVER, YOU MUST REGISTER BY THE REGULAR DEADLINE, fee waivers cannot be used for late registration.
When you register and are asked what high school you attend - you should put in the BEACON SCHOOL CODE - this is 333438 - this will allow the testing service to send Beacon a copy of the score report. This is very important.
PLEASE BE AWARE - BEACON IS NOT A TESTING CENTER - YOU CANNOT TAKE THE EXAM HERE. IF YOU SEARCH FOR BEACON - YOU WILL FIND BEACON HIGH SCHOOL IN BEACON NEW YORK. DON'T DO THIS OR YOU WILL BE TAKING YOUR EXAM AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME!
If you don't feel comfortable registering online for whatever reason - please come pick up a mail registration packet in the college office.
