I added a new test date for the SAT. January 26th is an added test date so be sure and sign up before December 28th. Also, as a reminder regulations for both the SAT and ACT require students to upload photos when they register. Be sure to do this before the deadline. Otherwise your registration will be canceled and you will not be able to take the test on the selected test date. :( So be prepared!
