The next SAT administration is planned for June 6.
Are higher education institutions aware of these cancellations?
“Yes, we have notified higher education institutions and they are also closely monitoring the rapidly evolving coronavirus situation. If you already applied to one or more higher education institutions, you may wish to reach out to them directly for additional guidance.”
