@socaldad2002 – I agree with trying to test, but your statement of a 3-month gap in testing is not accurate.
SAT’s last test was in mid-March (and even that test was cancelled many places) and it’s not offered again until August – and likely not everywhere (see below).
ACT was completely down from March to mid-June – but the June test was VERY spotty. 40% of test sites in my state were cancelled! In some states there were zero tests offered! Most predict the July sitting will be equally spotty – many districts have completely closed their buildings for the whole summer. All these cancellations, some at the last minute, mean there’s pent up demand and it’s hard to even get a testing seat.
I think the soonest we’ll see a ‘normal’ testing day is September and even that is by no means certain. So really it’s at least a six month break not three – which puts a lot of pressure on Class of 2021 kids, especially those with zero or 1 test under their belt where in years past many kids would be rounding the corner toward their 3rd or even 4th attempt by Fall.
