SAT Test Day
SAT testing is Wednesday, March 20th! PLEASE READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE NEW IMPORTANT INFORMATION THIS YEAR.
Starting this year, SAT will be digital on the Bluebook app (already installed on their chromebooks), which means students will be testing using their PPS Chromebook device. Please remind students to fully charge their chromebook the night before so there enough juice to last them through testing, which is approximately 3 hours (this includes the Readiness Check prior to testing).
All students will be automatically registered for this exam so they do not need to worry about registering for it and there is no cost for juniors to take the SAT exam.
