PSAT, SAT, ACT Testing for Homeschoolers


Recently I asked my local homeschool group where homeschoolers take SAT/
ACT tests
.  The only people who replied on our email group also wanted to know, so I'm posting this information for others who are curious.

At the bottom of this post I listed the websites for SAT and ACT test dates, sites and registration.  You need to register on the site and then choose a test date and the site will prompt you to find a location.  The tests are offered at local high schools, so you pick where you want to take the test. 

The next SAT date is 6 October and the registration deadline is 7 Sep.  (You can register late for additional fees.)

BTW, PSAT/NMSQTs are on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 or Saturday, October 20, 2012.  My son is taking it at our local high school. I contacted the guidance counselor and arranged that.  He took them there last year too.  For students to qualify for National Merit Scholarship they need to take the PSAT as a junior.  

Read this for more info on PSAT:
Each year, over 1.4 million high school students take the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, also known as the PSAT. This test helps you prepare for the SAT while determining your eligibility for a National Merit Scholarship.
The PSAT offers you the chance to improve your test–taking skills with no negative consequences; your results will have no bearing on college admissions or your high school transcript. And if you do well, you could earn more than bragging rights – you could win money for college.  http://www.princetonreview.com/nmsqt.aspx

  1. Education is undoubtedly an important part. I am really impressed with the competitive atmosphere at TestMax LSAT Prep Courses and classes. All experienced and qualified teachers cover different sections of papers. Their tricks are highly informative and not to be missed. Me and my cousin were regular in classes and helped each other about the doubts and improvements.
