SENIORS: Remember to check the specific deadlines of colleges in scheduling your SAT I and (if needed) SAT II. Many colleges only recognize an official test score transcript sent directly from ETS. Students may arrange to have their scores sent at the time of registration or at a later date for an additional fee.

JUNIORS: Generally, only highly competitive colleges require both the SAT I and II. However, if they do, then your results are important. Check with your counselor early in the fall to discuss yourtesting schedule.
SOPHOMORES: While you probably will not take the SAT I this year, you should explore SAT II options, especially if you are accelerated in math. Please see your counselor to discuss this further.
