Official
statement from College
Board website:

“Right now, public health
officials have made clear it is not safe to gather students in one place. As
such, we will not be able to administer the SAT and SAT Subject Tests as
planned in June. Please see our plans to ensure that students will have
opportunities to take the SAT to make up for the lost administrations this
spring.”

If it’s safe from a public health standpoint, College
Board will provide weekend SAT administrations every month through the end of
the calendar year, beginning in August. This includes a new administration in
September and the previously scheduled tests on August 29, October 3, November
7, and December 5. Students can register for these administrations starting in
May.

What you can do now:

1. Secure your registration.

Log into your account
on the College Board website and check your options for transferring your
registration to another one of this year’s remaining exams. But it’s extremely
important you give yourself more than one shot to reach your score goal by
registering for two or three exams.

2. Both Juniors & sophomores:
practice via online mode

The students can put total focus on exams as the teachers have the flexibility
to assign the test in ‘Test mode’ or ‘Practice mode’.  This gives the
students a benefit of using the test as a testing or learning tool.

Test Mode

  • In the ‘Test mode’ the students complete
    the test without any learning support, the same as they would in the
    actual exam.
  • It helps the students to get a hang of the
    exam conditions.

Practice mode

  • The practice mode helps students
    learn from their mistakes. Here they get tips to answer the question
    before submitting their answer.
  • They also
    get feed backs on each question
    which helps them understand the reason behind correct or incorrect answer
    and right strategies to deal with the questions.
  • These learning tools also have an
    online dictionary in the practice mode that helps the students build their
    vocabulary and get a grip with content and topics.

Therefore these online
prep tests prepare the students holistically, which not only enhances their
knowledge but also gives them an idea of what the real time exams are like.

Wish You Good Luck and Happy Learning!! Stay at Home, Be Safe, & Save Lives..
