you can register at collegeboard online or get a form from your counselor.

for the testing center… it depends. Sometimes you can take it at your high school, sometimes at a college or some sort of community center. You will get an assignment when you register. It’s easy to do it online. Anyway if you do it online you input your address so it will show testing centers close to you. You pick your 1st 2nd 3rd choices, etc. and it will assign you one of these. After you’ve picked a test and paid for it, they will give you a testing ticket. (by mail or a print-page online… depending on how you registered). You take the ticket and an i.d. to the testing center when you take it.

SAT IIs are the subject tests. You might not have to take them, it depends on the college you’re going to. You do take these in the same centers. More selective colleges may require 2 different subject tests. They’re less expensive than the regular tests. If you want to take a subject test it’s a good idea to take one that’s in the same subject that you’re studying that year. Like if you’re taking spanish 4 you’ll take spanish. if you’re taking chemistry you can take the chemistry test. A really easy one is Literature… it’s almost just like the reading part of the normal test… just it has more technical terms and you have to be a bit more discerning.

Good luck, don’t worry about it right now! you have about a year 🙂

also you can take the ACT. Which I liked better. You can register for it and the SAT at their respective websites.

Collegeboard will guide you through all of the hoops.

One thing to note: freshmen don’t have to take the SAT and if you’ve not taken the PSAT it is better to do that one first (I know this from experience!).

Good luck!

they send it to NJ someplace

then they tell you where to go for the test
