Standby Testing: If you miss the late registration deadline, there is
still a chance you can sometimes take the SAT® as a standby. Test centers
accept standbys on a first-come, first-serve basis only if they have enough
space, testing materials, and staff - so there is no guarantee that you
will be admitted to the test. To be considered for standby testing,
please be present at the test center on test day before 7:45 a.m. Bring
a completed Registration Form, sealed in its envelope, along with payment
by check, money order, or credit card. Checks and money orders should be
made payable to "The College Board". You will also be charged a $44.00
standby fee in addition to the regular fee for the test or tests you wish
to take.
Exception: Students taking Language Tests with Listening cannot test as standbys.
The SAT® online score report is available free to every student who takes
the exam. All you need is a collegeboard.com account. You will still
choose to receive your SAT® score report in the mail.
ACT Assessment Test
There are some institutions in Texas which award academic credit
and advanced placement based on a student's performance on the
ACT Assessment.
Both advanced placement and academic credit may be awarded to students
based on their scores on three of the four ACT Assessment curricular
areas: English, Mathematics, or Science. This is the same examination
utilized in the admissions process. Depending upon the college or
university, requirements of minimum scores, number of credit hours
granted and other conditions may vary.
