SAT Essay Option

SAT - Essay Option Information

When taking the Colorado school day SAT this spring, 11th grade students will have the option of taking the SAT with or without the optional essay. Adding the essay to their SAT registration is a student choice.

The SAT with Essay registration window is Jan. 17 – Feb. 16, 2023. This will be the only opportunity for students who wish to take the optional essay to add it to their April school day test registration.

Students may add the essay to their registration through their online College Board account or by calling the College Board at 866-917-9030 (Option 2). The flyer with more information about this SAT can be found here.

Additional Information:

1. The SAT Essay is scored separately from the SAT. A student’s score on the essay will not improve or reduce their score on the SAT.

2. The optional essay is only offered as part of the 11th grade SAT. There is no essay option for the PSAT 8/9 for 9th graders or the PSAT 10 for 10th graders.

CECP Shadow Days

We are planning to host Shadow Days this semester! For the most part, shadow days will take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the semester. Students who are ambassadors should get a schedule for the upcoming week every Friday.

Shadow Days are days when future students come to campus and are assigned a current student host. The host will give the future student a tour, answer questions, and have them attend their classes and lunch with them.
