College Testing
For the 2020-2021 year, Illinois will be giving juniors the SAT. Other than the day that we test in school, students can register and pay for additional test dates on their own. ACT and SAT are looked at the same by colleges. Below are the dates and links to that testing registration.
Juniors will be given the SAT with their high school on April 13th, 2021.
ACT
Registration for the ACT is done online. You will need to set up an account to register for the test. Make sure you keep your log in to that you can get your score when it is available.

SAT
The SAT has national test dates just like the ACT but currently their testing locations may be farther away or more limited in number.
If you are looking for a location in the area make sure that you check Iowa in addition to Illinois because they test in Davenport and Bettendorf on different test dates.
