CollegeBoard Coronavirus Updates
We are seeing more colleges and universities make adjustments to their admission processes to support the Class of 2021, for example becoming "test-optional," accepting different forms of grading, etc. However, we are advising our students to be over-prepared to ensure all post-secondary options of their choosing are available to them. Students should try to register for the SAT or ACT in the summer/fall, if at all able.
SAT Update:
"Until June 3 at 8pm ET, August, September, and October registration will be open to: Students in the class of 2020 or 2021 who don't have an SAT score, and students who registered for the June SAT or Subject Tests and didn't cancel." - The CollegeBoard
After this date/time, registration will be open for all students. More info
