ACT deadline; more on SAT subject tests

As previously noted, the deadline to register for the June 7 SAT (last SAT date of this school year) is next Tuesday, May 6. To register, go to www.collegeboard.com. Gordon Chalmers, college counselor at San Francisco School of the Arts, issues a reminder that the last ACT of the school year is June 14, and the deadline is Wednesday, May 7. To register, go to www.actstudent.org /.

Gordon offers further advice on the June SAT: "Juniors who have already taken the SAT I before or will take it in May should now take the SAT II Subject tests in June, especially if planning to apply to a UC. One of the three tests taken in June should be U.S. [History], and the other could be Literature. The 3rd test, if you decide to take a 3rd test, could be Biology, chem, a language or world history. Do not take Math 1, as UCs will not accept it and don't take Math 2 unless you have completed Trig."
