Registration for any and all of the tests you plan to take is your responsibility. Registration materials are available in your high school counseling office, or you can register online at
The College Board and
ACT Web sites. Registration
deadlines are important and are well ahead of the test dates, so
plan ahead.
Many colleges require students to have all scores sent directly from the testing agency, and you must request that your scores be sent to the colleges of your choice. Score reporting should include SAT, ACT, and SAT II: Subject Test scores.

Fee Waivers
Fee waivers are available for students who are deemed needy according to standards set by ACT and the College Board. The state of Tennessee also provides a voucher for all high school students to take one of these tests as an exit exam. Ask your college advisor or school counselor about using the voucher and fee waivers. Students who use a fee waiver to take the SAT will also be eligible for application fee waivers from the College Board. Most private colleges and universities will also grant application fee waivers if your college advisor or counselor will write a letter. Read more...
Non-Standard Testing
Both the SAT and ACT are offered in different forms or with extended time to accommodate students with learning differences or disabilities. Students who qualify for these tests may take them with extended time, given on tape, read to them by a proctor, or untimed. How colleges and universities look at non-standard testing varies from school to school. Colleges will not deny admission based solely on a learning difference or disability. However, admission officers will not admit students whom they feel will not succeed in their college's programs. At many schools there are no special tracks or programs for students with learning differences. On the other hand, there are many schools that offer extensive programs and accommodations.
On both the The College Board and ACT websites, information is available for those students with learning differences or other conditions who need to apply to take a test with accomodations. There are a variety of forms and documentation required to be eligible for non-standard testing. Contact your special education case manager, college advisor, or school counselor for additional information.
