Taking the SAT

One component to college planning is taking a college placement exam.  The best time to begin taking the SAT or ACT is in the spring of the junior year.  While both tests are given almost every month,  at West Mifflin High School, we offer SAT testing on designated Saturdays in March, June (new this year) and October.    We recommend that students plan to test at 2-3 times by December of their senior year.  The registration deadline for the March SAT test is February 7, 2014.   To register, students must create an account on www.collegeboard.org .  The cost for taking the test is $51.  Fee waivers are available in the guidance office for students who receive a free or reduced lunch.  Test takers must bring photo id, registration form, calculator and pencils to the test.

Back by popular demand, the guidance department will be offering an SAT registration and preparation  workshop on Thursdays after school from January 30 through March 6th. 
Interested students can sign up for this workshop in the guidance office.  Topics will include, test registration, math review, test taking strategies, test day preparations.
