Reasons to Offer SAT School Day

SAT School Day allows states, districts, and schools to offer juniors and seniors the opportunity to take the SAT during their regular school day at their home school. 

Support Equity
When students have the opportunity to test at their own school, they’re more likely to take the test. By providing a college admission test in school, you’re cultivating a college-going culture for the entire school.

Expand Access
Students don’t have to juggle weekend responsibilities or find transportation. Income-eligible 11th- and 12th-grade students also receive SAT fee waivers, unlimited SAT score sends, and college application fee waivers, so they can take the SAT and apply to college—for free. 

Flexible and Easy to Order
SAT School Day allows schools to order any number of tests—with or without a contract. The entire SAT Suite is available to order online, all in one place, with flexible testing windows.

Over 7 million students
in nearly 5,000 districts and over 14,000 schools have participated in SAT School Day*
