SAT Weekend Testing

Weekend SAT Testing 

March 12, 2022 - Update

Due to inclement weather, South County High School had to cancel the March 12 SAT Test session. College Board gave one option for South County to have a make-up for that test date: Saturday, March 26.  South County did not have the staffing available to hold the test on March 26. College Board requires schools to have specific numbers of each position (coordinator, proctor, and hall monitor) to execute the test according to their specifications, and South County did not have the staff available to meet that requirement.

Refunds for the March 12 Test date can be requested from College Board.

The next SATs that are hosted at South County will be on May 7, June 4, and August 27.
