YES Prep Public Schools

SAT Saturday

At YES Prep, all Juniors take the SAT one time during the Fall Semester.  For the 24-25 school year, that SAT will be Saturday, December 7, 2024.
Some students may choose to take the SAT on additional Saturdays throughout the school year, but all Students after their first SAT in December will have two opportunities to take the SAT again before the graduate on SAT School Day at their school during the Spring of their Junior year and Fall of their Senior Year.  

Preparing for SAT Saturday:

As the December SAT approaches, please review this information to ensure you or your child is ready for the SAT the morning of the Test.
