If not at GCM, scout out beforehand!Plan to take your best test, ACT or SAT, 2-3 times if that fits your plans. Most colleges “superscore” your highest SAT sections, so they make an overall highest score from your best sections across all test dates (but usually not with the ACT). Most colleges do not recommend using Score Choice or withholding any scores for the regular SAT just because you think they might be low (this does not apply to SAT Subject Tests, send only best of those)Research what score ranges are common for your colleges and their scholarship targetsPrivate Test Prep Classes – Mr. Humphreys has a list of local companies in his roomSaying “Yes” to the Student Search Service on PSAT day gets you all that college mail!Questions?
