SAT

March, May and June SAT and SAT Subject Test administration have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued to those who were registered but not able to take the test.

This includes a new administration in September and the previously scheduled tests on August 29, October 3, November 7, and December 5.

Students will be able to register for these administrations beginning in May. The College Board will communicate directly with students when the exact date is available.

Students who were registered for June and those in the high school class of 2021 who don't have SAT scores will have early access to registration for the August, September, and October administrations.

To help students keep their college readiness skills sharp, College Board and Khan Academy will continue to provide free resources online

UC is suspending the standardized test requirement for students applying for fall 2021 freshman admission. This is a temporary accommodation driven by the current circumstances.

UC has temporarily suspended the letter grade requirement for A-G courses completed in spring 2020 for all students, including UC’s most recently admitted freshmen. A-G courses completed in spring 2020 with Pass (P) or Credit (CR) grades will satisfy appropriate A-G requirements.
