This is just a quick & friendly reminder for seniors (the high school variety, not the geriatric type) to sign up for the upcoming SATs/ACTs.  

The October 3rd SAT deadline is September 3rd, the November 7th deadline is October 9th, and the December 5th deadline is November 5th.  Sign up for the SAT here. 

The September 12th ACT deadline is August 7th, the October 24th deadline is September 18th, and the December 12th deadline is November 6th.  It’s best to sign up for all of the tests now so you won’t miss deadlines and have to pay late fees.  Sign up for the ACT here. 

If you aren’t familiar with the testing process, I strongly recommend that you work with a private SAT or ACT tutor.  Like anything else that is important to you, you want to be prepared.  Understanding the format and rhythm of the test will help you improve your scores.  You might also like to expand your vocabulary and review math skills (Algebra I and II, and Geometry). The best way to increase your essay writing score is to learn how to include the writing mechanics and style that the readers prefer.  And most importantly, it’s time to take lots of practice tests so you’re prepared.
