COVID Response Series: SAT and ACT's response to COVID-19

 

PART TWO

Just in case you are still wondering – there has not been SAT Testing in CA since some sites had it in March 2020.


 

SAT & ACT vs. Response to COVID-19

  • Just in case you are still wondering – there has not been SAT Testing in CA since some sites had it in March 2020. 

  • Why?  The continuing response to COVID-19 by the Governors, Teacher’s Unions, Public Employee Unions, School Districts and County Health Officers has the schools closed for the rest of the year.

  • Re-opening of school sites is tied to “Case Positivity” of 5% or less for a 21-Day period, which has never been reached.

 

SAT & ACT Response to COVID-19 – Your Response

  • Plan with the assumption either that there will not be an SAT or ACT or the requirements will be reduced for your student

  • Many colleges are now at least test optional; Many are “NO TEST” at all (UC, CSU and CA Privates are all NO TEST and a few Test Optional)

  • Use www.fairtest.org to see the 1,700+ test optional or “NO TEST” colleges for Class of 2021

  • Many will also be for 2022 and beyond – We are thinking schools will still be closed this spring too

  • Conclusion – Concentrate on doing well in HS and then having the right college list!!
