year due to COVID protocol restrictions.

SAT and ACT

Students can register for the test(s), but since last spring most testing sessions in California have been cancelled. If the test is cancelled, College Board and/or ACT will refund your money.

There are a limited number of tests available and registration is first come/first serve basis. When available students can go to the webstore and pay for the exam online. Students will take the test in the morning and continue with their school day when the exam ends.


What to bring:
