We know that you are currently focused on the start of the school year and how to keep staff and students safe. College Board and ISBE will begin to plan for the ISBE-provided spring 2022 SAT with Essay, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 School Day administrations while recognizing that a number of uncertainties may impact this planning. ISBE requires public school students, including public school students served at nonpublic facilities, to be assessed as part of its statewide accountability testing program. At the time of testing, all students considered to be in Grade 11 according to state guidelines are required to participate in the SAT with Essay, unless they otherwise qualify for the alternate assessment (i.e., Dynamic Learning Maps-Alternate Assessment [DLM-AA]) . Students in Grade 12 who have not previously earned a valid SAT score as part of any ISBE-provided SAT School Day administration and were not exempt are also required to take the SAT with Essay. More details about Grade 12 testing will be posted [at](at www.isbe.net/Pages/sat-psat.aspx)[ ](at www.isbe.net/Pages/sat-psat.aspx)[www.isbe.net/Pages/sat-psat.aspx](at www.isbe.net/Pages/sat-psat.aspx). All students classified as being in Grade 10 at the time of testing are required to participate in the PSAT 10, and all students classified as being in Grade 9 at the time of testing are required to participate in the PSAT 8/9, unless they otherwise qualify for the alternate assessment (i.e., DLM-AA) .
