*** SAT Testing Information ***
Testing Dates:
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to make taking the SAT unpredictable. Here’s an update on the SAT test dates:
How to Reschedule SAT Registration:
Test center capacity may continue to be limited in certain areas due to social distancing guidelines and unexpected closures of test sites due to COVID-19. If you are unable to register for a specific test date, the College Board is advising students to select another location or another administration date.
If individual SAT test centers close due to coronavirus or other issues, updates will be posted to the College Board’s Test Center Closings page. Students should also continue to check the College Board website and its Coronavirus Updates page for information.
SAT Fees and Fee Waivers:
Through June 25, 2021, the College Board is waiving the $30 fee it normally charges students for rescheduling test dates. If you were issued a fee waiver for a test that was later cancelled, the fee waiver will be credited back to your account, so you can use it for another test. Fee waivers will continue to be available to students who cannot afford to pay the SAT registration fee. Visit the College Board website for details about obtaining and using fee waivers.
Test Prep Resources:
College Board and Khan Academy® will continue to provide free SAT prep resources online, including full-length practice test
SAT Registration Tips:
It’s important to register for the SAT as soon as possible. That way, if a test date is cancelled after you register, you will have access to the latest information from the College Board and have time to reschedule your test. Here are some tips for registering for the SAT.
- Register online. Registering on the College Board website is the fastest and easiest way to register. From your online account you can print your admission ticket, make changes to your registration, and view your scores as soon as they are available.
- Decide if you want to receive mail from colleges. If you enroll in College Board's Student Search Service, you'll receive mail from colleges looking to recruit students, as well as from scholarship providers and test prep companies.
- Pay your fees or apply for a fee waiver. Fees for the 2021-2022 SAT are $52. Fees include the cost of sending your scores to up to four colleges (additional colleges are $12 each). For a complete list of fees, as well as more information about registration, fee waivers, and the test itself, visit the College Board.
- Submit a photo. You must submit a photo of yourself with your SAT registration. You'll find the complete photo submission guidelines on the College Board website. If your photo doesn't meet the requirements, you may not be allowed to test.
Test Day Requirements:
- All students and staff will be required to wear a mask or protective face covering during the entire test. Students won't be allowed in the test center without a mask.
- Students will be seated at least six feet apart during testing.
- Students will be asked COVID screening questions prior to entering the test center or testing room.
- Students who do not adhere to these requirements may be dismissed from the test center and in such cases will not receive a refund or have their test processed and scored.
