While it’s not as challenging as the test itself, registering for a college entrance exam, such as the ACT or SAT, does take some preparation.
The steps for each test are different but both the ACT and the SAT remind students a photo is needed to register, and the registration process will take about 30 minutes.
ACT reminds students that they will need the following to register:
- Computer with internet access
- Credit card or other form of payment
- High school course details
- Headshot photo
The College Board, which administers the SAT, provides the following 4 steps to register:
- Explore the test center locations.
- Choose your preferred test date.
- Sign in to your College Board account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one.
- Complete your online registration, which requires you to upload a photo.
Knowing what you need and how to register will make college entrance exam registration one of those tasks you can cross off your summer to-do list – giving you plenty of time to study for the test.
