LHS Juniors - Opt In SAT w/Essay School Day Test Administration
Tuesday, April 13 & Tuesday, April 27, 2021
Greetings Junior Lancers!
We are pleased to announce that Lakewood High School will be administering the SAT w/Essay on Tuesday, April 13, and Tuesday, April 27, 2021. Testing administration is pending state and local health department guidelines. If we are allowed to administer the exam, we will follow all state and local health department protocols including a health screening, wearing a mask and social distancing.
Please keep the following in mind:
-The California State University (CSU) has temporarily suspended the use of ACT/SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 (current 11th graders) academic year.
-For all students applying to the University of California system in Fall 2022 (current 11th graders), submitting SAT and ACT scores will be optional. Test optional means that students can choose whether they submit their test scores or not. If students do not submit test scores, they will not be penalized; students’ admission decision will be based on the other parts of the application. Additionally, SAT and ACT scores will no longer be required when applying for Chancellor's or Regents scholarships.
-NCAA has not publicized a decision on whether they will require standardized testing for the current 11th graders.
-Your SAT scores can be used as an alternative entry into the National Merit Scholarship competition. Visit forms.nationalmerit.org/alternateentry Students cannot be considered in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program unless you complete this online form no later than Thursday, April 1, 2021.
The registration window for testing at LHS has closed. Remember space is limited, and the completion of the LHS registration form does not guarantee an exam. If there are more students then we can accommodate, space will be assigned on a lottery basis. We will notify you of your testing date and entrance procedures by Tuesday, March 23, 2021.
