Junior Test Plan for Spring of 2013

A reminder that Each junior is expected to take the SAT twice (both in March and May) and the ACT once in April. The deadline to register for the SAT in March, our first exam, is February 8th. We are setting an internal goal of getting everyone signed up before winter break. It should be noted that both College Board and ACT now require that students upload a photo of themselves to their account before they are able to complete their SAT registration. The appropriate links for registering are found on the sidebar of this blog. Remember that for the SAT you should use the College Board link. If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties with the process, please contact Mr. George mgeorge@bostoncollegiate.org (617) 265-1172 ext. 238.

The below link contains a copy of the letter that was sent home to all junior families regarding testing this spring. It includes all of the test dates and registration deadlines.
