SAT School Day Helps Remove Barriers for PA Students
Nearly 70% of the 1.9 million students in the class of 2024 who took the SAT took it on a school day. Ensure your Pennsylvania students have access to the same opportunities.
The SAT is the #1 college admission test in the U.S. and is the only one to offer free, world-class practice tools with Bluebook™ and Official SAT Prep on Khan Academy®.
Students who take the SAT on a school day gain free access to the BigFuture™ School app, where they can view scores, get personalized college and career guidance, and connect with nonprofit colleges and scholarship organizations.
Access that Drives Outcomes for Pennsylvania Students
AP® Precalculus and SAT® School Day open doors to college readiness and opportunity. Together, they set students on a path toward success in college, careers, and beyond.

“We feel it's critical to offer the SAT Suite to help prepare our students for success in the college application process. In an age of private college counseling and SAT/ACT tutoring, it's important for public schools to provide students the opportunities to help level the playing field for those who can't afford these private opportunities.”
