SAT Saturday Testing Information:
The SAT will be hosted on Saturdays at LC this year. Students register for exams directly on the SAT website,
www.sat.collegeboard.org
. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year in high school. At least half of all students take the SAT twice - in the spring of their junior year and in the fall of their senior year. Most students also improve their score the second time.
- June 1 (deadline to register, May 3)
The SAT test costs $64.50 per test with the essay (47.50 without the essay). Late registration incurs an additional $29 fee. If you cannot afford to pay the fee, you can see your counselor to apply for a fee waiver before you register online (click here for fee waiver information:
http://sat.collegeboard.org/register/sat-fee-waivers
).

Free Online SAT Practice:
All 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students who took the PSAT in October can take the next step on their SAT practice journey by
linking their College Board and Khan Academy accounts
, which unlocks a free SAT study plan. Linking their accounts will send their PSAT scores to Khan Academy, giving them access to a personalized experience on
Official SAT Practice
. Research shows that studying on Official SAT Practice for 20 hours is associated with an average score gain of 115 points from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT. That's nearly double the average score gain of students who don't use Khan Academy.
