You will find the most up-to-date information about college testing requirements on colleges’ admission office websites. For your convenience, we keep track of many colleges on a sheet
here. We continue to update the sheet as we learn more information.
CUNY Testing Policy Update
In case you missed it, CUNY announced the extension of their test-blind policy for the Class of 2022. This means that the CUNY colleges (including Macaulay Honors) will not consider any ACT or SAT scores as part of their application review. Click

Some students may still have a need or desire to sit for standardized testing. Please discuss your plans or questions with your college counselor. Registration is required if you plan to take a test.
Registering for SATs and ACTs
SAT: The first time you
register for the SAT, you can do so online, but you must select a Saturday test date in the month you want to take the exam. After you complete your online registration, you will need to
contact Customer Service to follow the procedure to switch to a Sunday date and location. The steps are outlined
here. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REQUEST THE SWITCH.
Note: You will need to fill out and submit a clergy letter, which you can pick up in the College Guidance Office or download
here. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO REGISTER FOR TESTS. You could find that you are unable to complete the process to change to a Sunday site or secure a seat at your desired location.
Registration for SAT dates in August, October, November, and December will open by early July.
ACT: You can register for Sunday test dates on the
ACT website. At the point where the registration asks you to select a test center, be sure to follow the link to non-Saturday test dates and you will pick from a list of Sunday options.
Registration for ACT exams in September, October, December, and later dates next school year will open in early July.
