My DD21 has not taken any SAT/ACT. The plan was to take SAT during school in March. We registered for the June test last month. It was canceled. Her windows of opportunity is getting small. Almost 50% of schools on her list still have not declared test optional. We are in the waiting game. We could technically apply for the August test. Would really not prefer to test in Sept and Oct. because she considers double degree in Music Performance. Sept. and Oct. test will get in the way of prescreening prep…

My son was scheduled to take the June test and we received an email upon its cancellation that he would be given priority for the August test date. I’m not holding out hope that it will happen then, either, but I would recommend signing up for the August test date ASAP as I believe they will have more demand for that test date than can be accommodated. You can always cancel …

The ACT hasn’t been cancelled for June, yet. They also are testing in July. Maybe that is an option for your kids?

For kids who have planned (and studied) to take the SAT, to pivot now to the ACT, which also may not happen, is not reasonable. Also, the differences in the ACT may not make it preferable to certain students.
