TAKING THE SAT
Saint Benedict’s CEEB Code: 310935
Saint Benedict’s Test Center Number: 31-560
Recommendations regarding the SAT Reasoning Test (formerly the SAT I) Saint Benedict’s recommends that all students take the SAT in either April/May or June of their junior year. After taking the test at least once during the end of Junior year, students can evaluate their scores and decide whether to take the SAT again in October/November of their Senior year. Colleges will most often consider a student’s highest score on each section of the exam, even if those scores were achieved on two or even three different test dates so it is to the student’s advantage to take the SAT at least twice.
Recommendations regarding the SAT Subject Test (formerly the SAT II) Students should take the SAT Subject exams for subjects in which they feel most confident in June of their Junior year. Students can take additional SAT Subject exams in November of their senior year. Students should take the initiative in learning which SAT Subject exams are required for the schools to which they plan to apply. Many schools list their SAT Subject Test requirements on their websites or in their handbooks. Take Writing, Math, and another of your choice if the school asks for SAT Subject Test but does not specify which ones to take.

ABOUT THE NEW SAT
The Class of 2006 will be the first class to take the new SAT for college admission.
Your test will consist of taking the new PSAT/NMSQT in the Fall of 2004 and the new SAT in the Spring of 2005.
The SAT is changing because it is a common belief that the new style will improve the alignment of the test with
the current curriculum and institutional practices in high school and college. By including a third measure of skill-writing,
the new SAT will help colleges make better admission and placement decisions. In that way, the new SAT will reinforce
the importance of writing throughout a student’s education.
