SAT

Attention Juniors!

There is still time to register for the June SAT!

As juniors, now is the time to begin taking the SAT exam.  We recommend all students take the SAT at least twice: once towards the end of their junior year and again at the beginning of their senior year.

Why?  Two reasons:

  1. "Practice makes perfect."  The more familiar and comfortable you are with the SAT exam, the more confident you will feel.  Most students improve their score the second time they take it.
  2. Most colleges superscore: this means colleges will take your highest section score across all of the dates in which you took the SAT and recombine it to give you the best possible chance of becoming admitted.  

The late deadline to register for the SAT is May 25th.  Visit College Board for more information.

If you receive free or reduced lunch here at MHS, you should qualify for an SAT fee waiver.  Speak to your counselor for more information.

Lastly, don't forget about the ACT!  Although the ACT is not offered again at MHS until next year, you can either register now or travel to a local high school to sit for the exam
