Always read the instructions that accompany the registration form carefully. Here, however, is some useful information in completing your registration.

General Requirements:

1. Use only a #2 pencil.

2. Completely darken the oval spaces under each letter and number entered. On the form:

Item 6: Current grade level. PGs and seniors alike use "12th grade."

Item 7: Darken "May" oval and write in "05" and darken those ovals.

Item 8: As indicated. Your call. Answering 'yes' will get you a lot of college mailings. Usually, these mailings have little bearing on your college search.

Item 19: If you are taking the SAT I, ignore. If you are taking the SAT II, indicate the test(s) you plan on taking. Add up the cost of the tests you plan to take and put the cost on the "subtotal" line. Add in the $18 registration and put the total on the "total" line.

Item 20: Fees--Enter all applicable fees on the appropriate lines and then enter the subtotal and total on the box at the bottom of the page. Darken the appropriate ovals.

TO MAIL:

1. If you will be taking cash out to pay for the test, please see Mrs. Kuvaja to withdraw the appropriate amount for the test(s) you are taking.

2. Take that cash to the North Bridgton post office and get a postal money order (you can't send cash to the College Board). The cost for this is approximately $1.00.

3. After double-checking your data on the registration form, be sure to place the appropriate sticker on the front of the envelope you are sending to the College Board (you will find white labels with various months printed on them in the registration packet envelope; use the sticker that corresponds to the month you are planning to take the test).

4. Seal the envelope, give it a kiss for luck, and pop it in the mailbox!

Good luck-and always remember to ask your College Counselor for help if you have questions!
