Fall 2020 SAT with Essay and PSAT Assessments

Dear Test Coordinators and Principals,

Public and nonpublic schools that were established to participate in the cancelled Spring 2020 SAT with Essay and PSAT assessments in high school are expected to participate in the Fall 2020 assessments for the grade levels listed below:

 

Who Will Test in Fall 2020 and What Assessments are Authorized
Student Grade Spring 2020	Student Grade Fall 2020	Assessment Given Fall 2020	Mode
Grade 8	Grade 9	PSAT™ 8/9	paper/pencil or digital option

Grade 10	Grade 11	PSAT/NMSQT®	paper/pencil only
Grade 11	Grade12	SAT® with Essay	paper/pencil only

 

Fall 2020 testing will differ from spring testing, as schools must choose a MDE-authorized date in the College Board Test Ordering Site (TOS) and will not utilize the Educational Entity Master (EEM) or the Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability Secure Site.

 

College Board will use the test coordinator and principal contact information that was available for Spring 2020 to contact each school on June 9, 2020. If your school does not receive an access code, or does not have access to the school’s code,  call the College Board Michigan Educator Hotline at 866-870-3127 (select Option 1), or email College Board at michiganadministratorsupport@collegeboard.org.

 

College Board will be hosting a webinar on June 10, 2020, from 10–11 a.m. ET to review the policies and procedures for Fall 2020 testing. The webinar will include a review of important dates, as well as helpful information about how to use the College Board test ordering site and accommodations for fall testing. The webinar will be recorded and posted to the appropriate PSAT and MME web pages approximately a week after the live event. Register for the
