5 Reasons to Offer SAT School Day

Watch and share this short video to see the many benefits and advantages that SAT School Day offers to students and educators alike.

From test coordination to test proctoring, our staff thought the digital test was much easier to administer than the paper and pencil version. The Bluebook application, with its embedded instructions, helped us stay organized and made test preparation and administration very easy!

Make Opportunity Universal

Foster Ambition

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

Expand Access

Offering the SAT during the school day removes barriers students may face during weekend testing such as work obligations, athletic or other extra-curricular activities, care-taking obligations, and lack of adequate transportation.

Remove Financial Barriers

Income-eligible 11th- and 12th-grade students also receive SAT fee waivers, unlimited free SAT score sends, and college application fee waivers, so they can take the SAT and apply to college—for free.
