The College Board has opened up a new test date of September 26, 2020.  Any students who were registered for the June SAT will have the ability to transfer their test administration from June to any other test dates in 2020-2021 in their College Board account starting May 26th (you will have early access to do this before the test dates open up to everyone else).  Any juniors who have not previously taken the SAT will also have early access to sign up for the Aug, Sept and Oct test dates on May 26th.  Please reach out to your School Counselor with any questions.

The College Board is cancelling the May 2nd SAT and SAT Subject Test administration. Students who already registered for the May 2nd test date will receive refunds. The College Board will provide future additional SAT testing opportunities for students as soon as possible in place of canceled administrations.

They have not yet cancelled the June 6th SAT and SAT Subject Test administration and will continue to assess its status with the health and safety of students and educators as their top priority.

Due to the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) is having throughout the nation, the College Board is offering some support for AP students.

1. They are providing free remote learning resources.
2. Developing a new at-home testing option.
