ACADEMICS: June SAT Cancelled
College Board's top priorities are the health and safety of students. As such, they will not be able to administer the SAT® and SAT Subject Tests™ as planned on June 6, 2020. They're working hard to make the SAT available in school and out of school as soon as the public health situation allows. Students will have opportunities to take the SAT to make up for this spring’s lost administrations.
If it’s safe from a public health standpoint, they'll provide weekend SAT administrations every month through the end of the calendar year, beginning in August. This includes a new administration in September and the previously scheduled tests on August 29, October 3, November 7, and December 5. Students will be able to register for these administrations beginning in May. Eligible students will be able to take the exam with a fee waiver. Students who were registered for June and those in the high school class of 2021 who don't have SAT scores will have early access to registration for the August, September, and October administrations.
College Board is committed to giving students as many chances as they can to show their strengths to admissions officers. If you have any questions or concerns, please check the image to access their website. It is regularly updated.
