TIPS for Registration 
*If you are on free or reduced lunch, see Mrs. Couch or your counselor for the fee waiver form--it makes your test free. You can get two waivers for SAT and two for ACT.
*Testing center code- Enter your zip code, and it will bring up a list of testing centers near your house.
*Make sure you enter the school code: 442-680.
*Make sure you select 4 colleges to receive your scores; otherwise, you will pay $12 per school per set of scores later. It is FREE when you register...so... 
*Upload your photo--Use your image from Skyward. That usually works. 
* Print two copies of your ticket (that is what you will get at the end and need to take the day of the test in order to test) 
***IF YOU DON'T ATTEND AND YOU PAID USING YOUR MONEY OR WAIVER IT IS GONE. NO REFUNDS*** And there will be a $25 charge to register the next time you plan to test.
*Once you select to print your ticket; make two copies and keep one in a safe place. You have to have the ticket the day you take the test along with a valid photo id. (This can be a school issued ID or Texas ID)
