College Board Information
College Board is the organization that creates and administers the SAT, PSAT, and AP exams. All students are encouraged to make a personal account with College Board in order to view their exam scores. Students can also use their account to send exam scores to colleges and/or universities and also register for SAT exams. Visit collegeboard.org to set up your account.
SAT
The SAT is offered throughout the year for students at various locations. Students in Illinois are required to take the SAT during the spring of their junior year. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch may also qualify for an SAT fee waiver. Please see your counselor if you think you qualify.

Freshmen and sophomore students are required to take the PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 respectively. These are preparatory exams for the SAT during their junior year. Click on the following links to learn more about the PSAT 8/9 and the PSAT 10.
MHS traditionally offers the PSAT/NMSQT on the Saturday administration date. If this interferes with a student's schedule they are encouraged to reach out to other local high schools to see if they are offering the exam on the Wednesday or makeup administration dates. Information about the National Merit Scholarship Program can be found here.
AP Courses
MHS offers a variety of AP courses for students, please see the list below.
AP courses give students the option to tackle college level work while they're still in high school. Students can earn college credit and placement for taking AP courses by taking the AP exam in May. There is a fee for the exam and students must register through their College Board account in the fall to take exams. Please talk to your student's AP teacher or counselor if you have questions.
