SAT registration deadline for the 3 June exam is 19 May (today). Students must register on the College Board website. Instructions on how to register are here. Students who have registered have access to four, full-length practice tests in Bluebook™, the new digital testing app. Encourage them to download Bluebook now so they’ll have plenty of time to prepare. Students also have access to Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy®.
Ms McDowell has been away from the office this week while she attends the Global International Forum & Workshop in London, UK. Along with the workshop, she is visiting numerous universities and participating in the first ever Times Higher Education Counselor Accreditation Program. We are looking forward to welcoming her back to the office next week!
Grade 11 students will be shifting their focus to final exams. However, we encourage students to set at least one more appointment to meet with their university counselor to review their draft university application essays and talk about the universities on their Considering List in MaiaLearning before the summer break.
Grade 12 students must check in with their university counselor to complete their check out form and confirm their university plans. Final ISB transcripts will be sent out in June to the university that students have indicated on their check out form. Please talk to your senior to make sure that their final destination has been relayed to their counselor. If your senior is still applying to universities, the final transcript request deadline before the summer is June 1.
Please encourage your child to consistently check the Virtual and Off Campus University Events spreadsheet to know what’s available. Please note that pre-registration is needed for some events.
For more university counseling information, please check the ISB University Counseling website. There you’ll find university research tools, transition resources, recordings and slide shows from Parent Coffees and other presentations, virtual and off campus university visits, information about testing and how to sign up for the SAT at ISB, a database of summer programs, and the ISB School Profile.
