Information regarding ACT, SAT and PSAT testing for the 2020-21 school year.
While Arlington Public Schools has determined that their buildings will not be used for these tests on Saturdays until Covid-19 has been contained and all our students are safely back in our buildings, we are working with ACT and College Board to find a school day for these tests to be given to our students that meet the necessary criteria.
ACT – APS is waiting for dates to be posted by ACT. A determination of whether we participate will be made once possible dates are set.
PSAT – Currently the Tentative date for the PSAT is Wednesday, January 26, 2021. More information to follow.
SAT – The College Board created a school day SAT, which APS participated, on Tuesday, October 27, 2020. Scores can be found on the College Board Site.
