Pick up and turn in your Request For Schedule Change form in the Main Office. Your counselor will respond by the next day.

JUNIORS – PSAT Results Explained!
PSAT scores are listed in two digits – SAT will be in three digits.
(Critical Reading 50 on PSAT will be critical reading 500 on the SAT.)
BEST WAY TO USE THESE SCORES:
Take your original testing book and score report. Highlight every answer without a check (check mark is correct). Go over answers with test book to see which questions gave you trouble. The box at the bottom also lists suggestions for improvement. REMEMBER: Random guesses are worse than leaving blanks!
When you take the SAT this Spring, first do all the questions you KNOW, then make educated guesses (you can CROSS OUT in book) and narrow the choices. Do not be afraid to leave questions blank on the SAT!
The UC system will use your BEST TEST DATE for all 3 scores. CSU’s and private colleges will MIX AND MATCH for the best scores.
Testing calendar for this Spring:
SAT
MARCH 14 TEST – the DEADLINE is February 10
MAY 2 TEST – the DEADLINE is March 31
JUNE 6 TEST – the DEADLINE is April 15
Sign up at collegeboard.com
IMPORTANT: if you are applying to UC or other selective colleges, you must take BOTH the SAT Reasoning AND the SAT Subject tests! They are offered on DIFFERENT DATES. Subject tests: US History, Math II, Spanish, French, Bio, Chem, Physics, Lit. YOU SHOULD TAKE THE US HISTORY TEST THIS SPRING IN MAY OR JUNE! You take 3 subject tests on a Saturday; colleges will pick your top 2 (UC) or 3.
ACT
This is an alternate test for the SAT Reasoning, used by all colleges in the US. This test allows you to guess, and has sections on reading, math and science. You should take the PLUS WRITING option if you are applying to UC’s (CSU’s do not require the writing test – we encourage you to take it anyway!).
APRIL 14 ACT – DEADLINE is Feb. 27
JUNE 13 ACT – DEADLINE is MAY 8
Sign up at act.org
Suggested testing pattern for Juniors:
Take the SAT reasoning in MARCH, MAY or JUNE ’09. If goals include UC/selective colleges, take SAT SUBJECT TESTS in MAY or JUNE. Take the ACT in APRIL or JUNE.
You will have 3 chances to repeat these tests in Senior year, but DON’T WAIT TIL THEN to test! You’ll do better after experiencing the test as Juniors. WATCH THE DEADLINES THIS SPRING! Mark your calendars! And remember: good grades in strong classes are more important than tests !!! Please get help from your counselor if you have questions !!
