REGISTERING FOR TESTS
Palmer Trinity School Code: 10-10-55
1. It is your responsibility to register
for the SAT and the ACT tests.
2. Online registration is the easiest way for most
students to sign up for the SAT or the ACT.
You will need a valid, major credit card to
register. e earlier you register the better.
3. Know the testing requirements of each
college to which you plan to apply.
4. Always use exactly the same name and address
when signing up for any tests! If you sign up
once as Valentina Diaz and as Valentina Diaz-
Soto another time, the computer will treat
you as two different people, which can make
sending scores to colleges much more difficult.
Be just as precise with your address, birth date,
Social Security number, and testing codes!
5. Extended-time testing: Students eligible for
extended time testing must have on file with
the Learning Specialist, Kathleen Lamiell, an
educational evaluation done in the last three
years, with a diagnosed disability and specific
recommendation for extended time. Please note
that it can be especially difficult to obtain extended
time for the ACT. See your counselor for details.
6. You will receive an admission ticket for all testing
sessions. Check the information for accuracy, and
to be sure you are assigned to the correct test center.
Please note that Palmer Trinity is not a testing center.
You will need your admission ticket and a photo
I.D. to check-in on test day. Save your admission
tickets and score reports, even after you have taken
the tests. You may need registration numbers
and test dates later in the application process.
RECOMMENDED TESTING PLAN
Depending on when students begin test prep, students
typically sit for their first SAT in January or March of
their junior year, and again in May or June. Students
can sit for the ACT beginning in February, and again
in April and June. We highly recommend that students
take both the SAT and ACT at least twice in their
junior year, and at least once more in their senior
year if needed. We urge you to plan ahead to find dates
that are convenient for you and that allow for you to
adequately prep for the SAT and ACT as needed. We
offer an ACT & SAT here on campus for Juniors.
Some colleges are test optional or test blind,
meaning you do not have to submit test scores.
