Testing Dates 2015-2016
Written by Beth Cassie.
Saturday June 13, 2015 was the last standardized testing date for the 2014-2015 school year. For rising juniors and seniors, there are many testing opportunities in the fall and throughout the year. Think about your own schedule – Do you play a fall sport? Will you be in the play or spring musical? Determine when you’ll have time to do test prep (two to three months on average) and then figure out your testing dates. Next year adds an additional wrinkle since the SAT will change to a new test in March, so if you were planning on taking the old SAT, you should leave enough time to finalize your SAT testing by January. Plan ahead and reduce your stress later!
