Scores can be used to apply to ATYP and these test administrations are for potential ATYP students only. Seats are limited to 100 students per session on a first come first served basis.

Upcoming Test Administration Dates:

  • April 12, 2025 (Saturday)
  • April 27 at 11 a.m. (Sunday)
  • May 18, 2025 (Sunday)

Registration deadline is the Sunday two weeks before each test. Step-by-step directions for registration are available. 

*Note that this test administration is not an official SAT or ACT and is not hosted by the College Board or ACT.  These scores can be used for eligibility for ATYP or CTD programs, but are not guaranteed to be a substitute for scores required by other programs requiring eligibility.
