Talk to your counselor or teacher about the letter of recommendation at least two weeks prior to the due date so that they have ample time to write the letter.  \nTest Scores:  \nApplications requiring test scores will want the scores sent directly from ACT or SAT. To have those sent you can include the 4 schools you would like the scores sent to when you register for the SAT or ACT, or you can log in to your College Board account to send them later. If you wait until later to send the scores, there is a fee to send them.  \nAfter the COVID – 19 pandemic, many schools have given students the ability to apply test optional. If you do not want your test scores sent or included on your transcript, you need to let your counselor know BEFORE requesting or sending any transcripts.  \nAll juniors will take the SAT test in school the week after Spring Break and do not need to register for that test date. If your student would like to take the test again on another date, they will need to register to take that test.  \nTest Dates:  \n\n| SAT |  | ACT |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Test Date | Registration Deadline | Test Date | Registration Deadline |\n| March 8th, 2025 | February 21st, 2025 | April 5th, 2025 | February 28th, 2025 |\n| May 3rd, 2025 | April 18th, 2025 | June 14th, 2025 | May 9th, 2025 |\n| June 7th, 2025 | May 22nd, 2025 | July 12th, 2025 | June 6th 2025 |","cbCaik3NolZWkCcB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik3NolZWkCcB","pdf",77884,"English","# Timeline\n# Terms to know\n# Transcripts\n## How to order a final transcript via PARCHMENT\n# Letters of Recommendation\n# Test Scores\n## SAT/ACT score sending and test-optional guidance\n# Test Dates\n## SAT\n## ACT","[{\"question\":\"How do students submit their college applications?\",\"answer\":\"Applications will be completed online either via the college website or through the Common Application.
