High school juniors who are enrolled in a Texas public school district or charter school have a one-time opportunity to take one free college admissions test this year, the Texas Education Agency announced
Thanks to funding from the Texas Legislature, the TEA has contracted with ACT and The College Board, which oversees the SAT testing program, to make free tests available this spring and early summer. This is part of a larger effort to increase college preparation efforts in the state. The first part of the initiative begins immediately with the college admissions testing.
High school juniors may register for either the May 1 or June 5 administration of the SAT or the April 10 or June 12 ACT, and the state will pay the cost of their regular registration fee.
The registration period has already closed for the April ACT test. However, if a student has already registered for that exam or any of the other designated tests offered in May or June and has already paid for it, the vendor will reimburse the registration fee.
The registration deadline for the May 1 SAT is March 31 (date of the press release), while the deadline for the June 5 test is May 5. The deadline for the June 12 ACT is May 7.
Officials with the SAT and ACT testing programs are contacting students, parents and counselors directly to provide information about how to access this program.
