The coronavirus may completely change the way colleges and universities use standardized tests like the SAT as part of the admissions process. With large gatherings no longer allowed on account of social distancing guidelines, it’s no surprise that springtime dates for both the SAT and ACT were cancelled weeks ago. As a result, there have been discussions about offering the exams in August.
