What? Middle names!?

<p>I was wondering whether or not middle names counted as a "separate" name. For example:</p>

<p>If John Stockton was placed on the SAT
Would it matter if both his passport and his transcript had John S. Stockton?</p>

<p>Does the middle name make the name as different as John would to Kevin?
I was wondering whether or not I should put my full name on everything, as I haven't for many things.</p>

<p>just put your legal name. isn't that what they ask for anyway?</p>

<p>Yeah, I have the same problem.
While I have my middle name on my passport and such, I never use it in real life and usually have it blank...
Am I supposed to use it.. -.-</p>

<p>Most documents have multiple identifiers such as your street address, your student I.D. number, or your social security number so that if your name doesn't quite match up a reasonably intelligent person will get your documents into the right pile together. But your life will be even easier if you find out what name is used on your HS transcript and use that one for everything (college applications, SAT/ACT/AP exams, etc.).</p>
