｜2025 SAT adds September test, new opportunities for further studies
The College Board officially announced that starting in 2025, the September SAT test will be added, and the date is September 13. This global arrangement applies to both domestic and international test areas in the United States, meaning candidates will have more opportunities to improve their scores before the application season. After adding new sessions, candidates in 2025 will have 8 opportunities to take the SAT exam in March, May, June, August, September, October, November and December.
｜New September SAT: more flexible to meet needs
As the epidemic slows down, the demand for Digital SAT continues to grow, and more and more universities, especially top universities, have re-included SAT scores as an important reference indicator. Even if some schools implement the "Test-Optional" policy, standardized test scores are still an important basis for universities to evaluate academic ability. AEI Asia-American Education specifically emphasizes that the new September sessions will provide students with more flexible choices.
｜Three major advantages of September SAT: flexibility, efficiency, and low pressure
✨ Summer planning is more flexible
The new SAT exam in September makes candidates' summer arrangements more flexible. Students can choose to participate in Summer Camp or volunteer activities in July to improve their academic background and soft skills, and focus on preparing for the Digital SAT in August. Such a plan not only balances academic and extracurricular activities, but also achieves all-round personal growth.
✨ One more exam to reduce stress and increase efficiency
In the past, if candidates did not reach the ideal score in August, the pressure would often be concentrated on the October exam. The newly added September session provides a "buffer opportunity", allowing students to quickly adjust their preparation and improve their scores if they do not perform well in August. In addition, August, September and October are only 20 days apart, providing a tight but ample preparation time. The course consultants of AEI Tianmu SAT and Zhongxiao Dunhua SAT suggest using these sessions to flexibly plan your preparation time.
✨ Diversify risks and stabilize your mentality
One more exam means one more chance to reduce the risk of disorder. Most universities only look at the scores that candidates choose to send. Students can use the multiple-test strategy to gradually improve their scores on familiar question types. At the same time, multiple attempts can also help students maintain a stable mentality and avoid excessive anxiety. Students taking the Digital SAT can achieve their goals more effectively through the guidance of AEI Asian American Education.
｜Core strategies for exam preparation: solid foundation and steady improvement
It should be reminded that the newly added September sessions provide more opportunities for candidates, but the three examinations with short intervals are not suitable for cramming. Therefore, candidates should lay a solid foundation in advance, improve their vocabulary, logical ability and concentration, and develop good study habits in daily life. Only students with solid basic abilities can quickly improve their scores and achieve ideal results in short-term preparation. Tianmu SAT and Zhongxiao Dunhua SAT provide targeted courses to help candidates gain a solid foundation.
｜Official explanation: Taking multiple exams is more advantageous
The College Board clearly states that there is no limit to the number of times you can take the SAT, and taking it multiple times will help improve your score. Regarding the misunderstanding that "taking more than three examinations will lead to suspicion of score deduction," officials have further clarified: Most universities only accept designated scores submitted by candidates and do not require all examination records. In addition, even if a single score increase is large, it mainly depends on the candidate's preparation and progress, and has nothing to do with cheating.
｜Looking forward to 2025: Seize every opportunity for improvement
The new September SAT test in 2025 will provide students with more opportunities to plan flexibly and improve their scores. At the same time, this change also shows that the importance of standardized tests in college applications cannot be ignored. AEI emphasizes that candidates should make full use of time and prepare in advance to ensure that every challenge can be met in the best possible condition, adding strong support to their dream university applications. Also remind candidates! In August, September, and October, the time between the three exams is very short, so it is impossible to significantly improve your ability during this period. You need to lay a solid foundation before the exam, including vocabulary, logical thinking ability, and study habits. and concentration.
