The numerous states holding school day SAT ( and the few holding school day ACT) are doing so in response to parental demand for it.

I am not aware of any new contracts that states undertook as a response to demand. Historically, the states that offer the school day test have done so because it’s part of their educational requirements and/or the tracking of students’ academic progress and/or for high school accountability reasons (built into union contracts).

Illinois has required the SAT for about 6 years or so, previously the ACT. Now back to the ACT next year. There is still a great deal of demand for the test on weekends, and it’s still competitive to get seats in the Chicagoland area.

Voters in my town would not tolerate difficulty in finding testing sites; there are at least a dozen sites within 10 miles of my home.

That’s great there’s so many seats, even though many districts in Texas do participate in SAT School Day each year.
