SAT Day at Cambridge
Cambridge will offer to the Class of 2021, an SAT School Day, on October 27, 2020, from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm. This administration is different from the regular SAT in that it is given during the school day and does not include the essay portion of the exam.
A few points to consider:
- SAT School Day in October is for students classified as seniors only.
- SAT School Day is free for students.
- Khan Academy offers free SAT prep. College Board sees 200 point gains in students dedicated to practicing using Khan.
This offer is good for the first 200 students, and it is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in taking the SAT on this day, please sign up here:

Fulton Virtual and Georgia Virtual Courses - 2nd Semester Registration
Students taking semester one ("A") of an online class now, it is time to go ahead and register for the spring term (“B”) for your online course (s). In addition, if you are in an online semester-long class, you need to register for another online semester-long class.
This is especially important for seniors since the Counseling Department needs to make sure all classes the senior is taking is on his/her transcript when we send it to colleges.
