The SAT, scheduled for May 2, has been canceled entirely, the College Board announced. Makeup exams for the March 14 test, which had been scheduled for March 28, are also canceled. Students who had registered for either exam will be refunded.

“In the coming days, College Board will share additional information and details directly with registered students and test centers,” the organization said. No date for a future exam was given.

The ACT said its April 4 exam has been pushed to June 13 across the U.S., “in response to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus.”

Meanwhile, the College Board is also taking steps to allow students to take this year’s AP exams at home, “depending on the situation in May.” Details will be sent to educators and students by March 20, the College Board said.

The announcements reflected the new guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, advising organizers to cancel events with 50 people or more for eight weeks.
