  • Print Registration Worksheet to gather necessary information before beginning the online registration.

  • Use the multiple registration option to register twins or multiples with one payment.

  • Most students attending participating Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Newark and the Diocese of Paterson will be tested in their schools. The elementary school will be listed as the test site.

  • Affiliate schools (928 and 929) and Rockland County schools (616, 619, and 622) must select three test sites (1st choice, 2nd choice, and 3rd choice).
