Finding the right testing center

Talk to other parents and students before you register your high schooler to take their SAT or ACT. Ask them what kinds of experiences their students have had. Make sure you get good reports on the locations you sign up for. Sometimes an extra 10 to 15 minutes of driving is worth it for a good test center. Ask about the testing environment such as what types of desks or tables the kids use. Are the desks the small college-types with little room to put your test booklet? Are students tightly packed into the room like sardines? These are important questions to answer so that your student has the best environment in which to take their test
