SAT Updates
Due to test cancellations in the Spring, as well as localized cancellations this Fall, reserving a seat for the SAT is becoming extremely difficult. The CollegeBoard has added a September 26 sitting, and additional sittings in January 2021 are likely as well. If you wish to test in the fall, we recommend registering ASAP. Test cancellations are now at the discretion of local test centers. If you register or have registered for a fall sitting of the test, please monitor the status of your particular test site regularly. For the latest information on site closures, click here. Our tutors are available for in-person, or remote test prep sessions. and we plan to offer test prep classes in the spring.
Any student who has taken an SAT class at Sage and is registered for the September 26 test date will have the opportunity to take an additional practice test on Saturday, September 12, at 9am in the Mill Valley office. We will then hold a 4 hour review class on Sunday, September 20, from 10am – 2pm. The practice test and review session will be free of charge.
ACT Updates
Similar to the SAT, reserving a seat for the ACT is becoming very competitive. The ACT has added September 19, October 10, and October 17 to their fall calendar. Registration for all fall test dates is open. Please register ASAP if you hope to test this fall. For the latest information from the ACT, click here. Our tutors are available for in-person, or remote test prep sessions, and we plan to offer test prep classes in the spring.
