SAT
Seniors: Many schools are going test-optional, meaning they will accept but do not require SAT or ACT scores from applicants, for this application cycle due to limitations caused by COVID-19. SAT scores may still be required for certain programs or merit scholarship eligibility. Students should check with college and university admissions offices to be sure they don't need to submit scores before neglecting to test.

Juniors: The SAT school day is scheduled for April 2021. Start practicing with Khan Academy!
