Coronavirus AP, IB, and SAT/PSAT Update
Good afternoon staff, parents, and students,
Due to the unprecedented number of closures and social distancing mandates taking place at schools globally, many national and international assessments are suspended, paused, or changing their administration protocols. As of now, at the high school level, all state required CMAS Science Tests and the state required PSAT and SAT are paused until further notice. Please note that we will update you as soon as we are aware of any changes to any of our assessment requirements. Here is what we know so far:
ACT
Has rescheduled its April 4 national test date to June 13 across the U.S. All students registered for the April 4 test date will receive an email from ACT in the next few days informing them of the postponement and instructions for free rescheduling to June 13 or a future national test date. See this link for more information.
