All students will take the SAT at MacLaren in April of their junior year. Students who choose to also take the ACT, or to take the SAT a second time, will need to register online, pay the registration fee, and take the test on a National Testing day. It is recommended that students take both the SAT and ACT in the spring of Junior year. If students wish to attempt to increase a test score, then they can retest in the fall of senior year.
There is a fee associated with taking college entrance exams. Fee waivers are available for students who demonstrate financial need. To find out if you are eligible for a fee waiver, speak with the college counselor or look at
SAT and
ACT's eligibility guidelines. Fee waivers are obtained through the College Counseling office.
SENDING SCORES
