Test Schedule for May 2021

Here are some important notes about 2021 testing.

SAT
Note from the College Board regarding COVID precautions, changes, and policies:

“Search here to find out if your test center will be closed on an upcoming test date and if it's offering a makeup test. Remember, test centers may close or make changes on short notice, including on test day, and they may close for the scheduled makeup date. Test center data is updated every three hours—be sure to search any closings the night before and morning of your scheduled test.

Only fully closed test centers will show in the search results. Check any recent College Board notifications for your personal registration status and any test center updates, and make sure they have your contact information.

Our top priorities are your health and safety. Learn the latest test center policies.”

Note from the College Board regarding the coming discontinuation of SAT Subject Tests and the Essay Test:

Why discontinue the SAT Essay portion: “We’re adapting to respond to the changing needs of students and colleges. This change simply streamlines the process for students who have other, more relevant opportunities to show they can write an essay as part of the work they’re already doing on their path to college.”

Why discontinue the Subject tests: “We’re reducing demands on students. The expanded reach of AP and its widespread availability means the Subject Tests are no longer necessary for students to show what they know.”

We know that this news may raise a lot of questions and concerns for you, especially if you’ve already scheduled the tests or are in the process of submitting to colleges. For more information regarding Subject tests and the Essay test, please see the College Board FAQ sheet.
