The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) Reasoning Test measures the critical thinking skills you will need for academic success in college. It is given several times during the school year. Saturday SATs are not given at LCMHS; however, School-Day SATs are available at LCMHS for seniors in October and for juniors and seniors in March or April.
What’s on the SAT
In Spring 2024, all SATs went digital.
All high school juniors/seniors may take ONE School-Day SAT for FREE (additional School-Day administrations will have a charge of $41+ for 2025-2026, which is less than the Saturday administration fees in the bullets below).
Juniors are encouraged to take their SAT or ACT for the first time beginning the spring semester of their junior year (January-June). Seniors who have not yet taken their SAT or ACT exam or who wish to take the exam again should plan to take them in the early fall of their senior year in order to meet college admission deadlines.
Income-eligible students may be eligible for fee waivers. They can take two additional free SAT tests. For Saturday SAT registration, income-eligible students should see your guidance counselor for a fee waiver. If you take the School-Day SAT and apply for the waiver (see fee waiver link), your waiver will be in your College Board account.
School-Day Registrations will be done through the Counselors Office.
