SAT
Grades 11–12
The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is recommended for students pursuing college and also counts as a standardized test in states requiring homeschool families to complete one of these exams each year. Ultimately, an SAT score is an indicator of a student’s potential college or military academy success and is a metric for many scholarship applications. Although mainly a multiple-choice exam, the SAT does include an optional essay.

While the Stanford-10 Online and CTP exams require no preparation and are recommended as standardized tests to assess your student’s academic achievement yearly, your student should prepare diligently for the CLT, SAT, ACT, and, if applicable, the PSAT/NMSQT®—the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test—which enables students to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program.
We recommend College Prep Genius—which provides practice tests and coaching for the CLT, SAT, ACT, PSAT, and more—to homeschool families seeking to prepare their students well for these college entrance exams.
