A key college entrance exam has been scrapped until at least August because of the coronavirus pandemic, adding more pressure to the companies that administer the admissions tests at a time when dozens of colleges are making it optional.
The SATs scheduled for June have been canceled, the College Board said in a statement Wednesday. The organization said it will provide a digital SAT for home use if schools don’t reopen in the fall -- an event it called unlikely.
