Howdy lilusher44-ga,

According to this Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) web page,
you sure can take the SATs after you graduate from high school.
http://www.chci.org/chciyouth/interact/ask_april04.htm

"Yes, you can take the ACT or the SAT after you have graduated high school.
Enrollment in high school is not a requirement for either exam. Please visit
www.collegeboard.com for more information on the SAT, ACT, and other college
entrance requirements. If you have been out of high school for many years,
some colleges may not require you to take the SAT, ACT, or any other college
entrance exam. Sometimes, colleges have different entrance requirements for
non-traditional students (students who did not enroll in college directly
after high school)."

So, not only can you take the SAT at some time after you graduate from high
school, but you will also want to contact the college you are thinking of
attending to see about their SAT requirements.

The "CollegeBoard" web site they mention is that of the organization that
administers the SATs.
http://www.collegeboard.com/about/index.html

"The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission
is to connect students to college success and opportunity.
...
Among its best-known programs are the SAT ..."

In fact, you can register online for the SATs if you want.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/about.html

"Register online and:

- Choose your test date and test center.
- Get immediate registration confirmation.
- Get recruited by colleges and universities.

Requires Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express."

There is lots of information on the SATs on the above web page, so I would
suggest you go through it thoroughly.

The 2004-2005 Calendar & Fees can be found here.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/calenfees.html

You can find out more about fees here.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/calenfees/fees.html

You can possibly get the SAT fees waived and might even be able to get your
college admission fees waived as well.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/calenfees/feewaivers.html

Keep in mind the SATs have changed just this year, so they are different than
when you took them.
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/about/SATI.html

"Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200-800, and the writing
section will contain two subscores. The SAT is typically taken by high school
juniors and seniors. It is administered seven times a year in the U.S ..."

There is a SAT Preparation Center on their web site as well.

Specific questions about the SATs can be answered by calling (609) 771-7600
or using the email form at this web page.
