  • The Language with Listening Tests are offered only in November.

 

Notes to seniors:

The deadline for registration is to ensure that you get a seat and is about 4 weeks prior to the exam date for the SAT. You can always try to take a test "walking up" to the test center on the day of the test. However, if they are full they do not have to let you take the test unless you register in advance. Test centers in Saudi seem to fill very quickly, so registering well in advance is a good idea.

Although we (YIS) do not host the ACT, there are several test centers now in Saudi Arabia giving the ACT. Some universities require results from the ACT; be sure to check. It is a different test and emphasizes different subjects.

If you are planning to take an AP exam in May you should have have committed to take that test no later than October 5, 2011.
