Updated May 2024 
The digital SAT Prep Boot Camps are designed to provide students with the best test-taking strategies, and problem solving approaches. Our teaching-oriented approach will help students in the classroom as well as on their standarized tests. 
​

 

NOTE: Our Boot Camps are not the same as the online mock SAT/ACT being offered by Futureology. The mock exams are a chance to take the full-length exam under "mock" conditions so you can see how you might score without the score going on your record. 

STATUS OF TEST OPTIONAL / TEST BLIND ADMISSIONS:

 

• The Cal State system and the UC system for the Class of 2024 are “test blind” (they will not consider test scores for admissions or scholarship).

• CAL STATE: https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/freshman/getting_into_the_csu/Pages/testing-requirements.aspx​

• UC: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/exam-requirement/

• Private and out-of-state schools across the country are announcing their own policies regarding testing requirements for admissions and many of them have decided to be "test optional" (SAT or ACT will be considered if submitted, but you cannot be penalized for not submitting scores).

• Follow FairTest.org for the latest updates on test optional schools: http://fairtest.org/university/optional

 

Why should your student consider taking the Digital SAT if many schools are not requiring them?

While SAT scores may not be used for making admissions decisions, they still may be used for the evaluation for:

• Scholarships (merit awards)

• Direct entry programs

• College course placement

 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
