SAT testing day for Seniors on October 12 |
The Bishop Chatard Class of 2023 will have an additional opportunity to take the SAT at BCHS on the day juniors are taking the PSAT (Oct. 12). This gives a chance for current seniors to boost their score.
Seniors should still complete college applications prior to November 1 using March scores. There is a $60 fee unless students qualify for an SAT waiver from Free/Reduced Lunch Status. If students choose not to take the SAT, they can use the day to make a college visit.
