Preregistration is preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. Please arrive by 8:45 a.m. with a calculator and No. 2 pencils.

Test-takers will receive a detailed score report providing a side-by-side comparison of their projected test scores. A follow-up session will be from 1 to 1:55 p.m. on Oct. 18 in the school media center to discuss the strengths and weaknesses on the score report, and to share basic test-taking techniques to raise scores on both the SAT and ACT.
