College Testing
Students who have an interest in a 4-year college, need to take either the SAT or ACT for college acceptance. The Guidance Department, as well as taking the Career & College Readiness class, can help students with the registering process. Students may take both the ACT and SAT a total of two times each during their junior and senior years in high school for free by obtaining waiver forms from their counselor.
Middletown High School will offer the PSAT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) in the fall. Students registering to test must attend a mandatory pre-administration session.
Interested students must complete this registration form.
Juniors and Seniors who take the SAT using a fee waiver will receive four college application fee waivers from the College Board. For more information visit: The College Board Website
