Sunday test dates are scheduled following each Saturday test date for students who cannot test on Saturday because of religious observance.

Juniors who plan to go to college are encouraged to take required tests in the spring of the eleventh grade year, preferably the May/June tests. College bound seniors who have not taken one or both of the above required tests should register for the tests as early in the senior year as possible.

The more competitive colleges/universities usually require that in addition to the SAT I, students take the SAT II by November of the senior year. Generally, schools require at least 2 subject tests. Check the testing requirements of the colleges you are applying to for specific information.
