SAT Information
The following statement is an email from the College Board (SAT)
Dear Colleague,
Our top priority is the health and safety of students and educators. Our thoughts are with you during this time.
In response to the rapidly evolving situation around the coronavirus (COVID-19) and guidance from public health officials, the College Board is canceling the May 2, 2020, SAT® administration. Makeup exams for the March 14 administration (scheduled March 28) are also canceled. The College Board will provide refunds to all students who are registered for May, whose March test centers were closed, or who won’t receive March scores because of an irregularity.
We’ll provide future additional SAT testing opportunities for students as soon as feasible in place of canceled administrations. We’ll be as flexible as possible to give students the best chance to show their skills and stay on the path to college. We haven’t yet canceled the June 6, 2020, administration of the SAT Subject Tests™ and will continue to assess its status.
We understand that students outside the U.S. may have differing needs from country to country in terms of university planning steps and timelines. The College Board will take these concerns into consideration as we provide future testing opportunities.
We’ll be flexible, thoughtful, and collaborative in exploring ways to continue to support student learning and provide students opportunities to test during this challenging time. Thank you for your partnership.
Sincerely,
College Board
