All FISD 11th grade students are automatically registered to take the SAT, free of charge, during the school day on March 5, 2025.

This spring the SAT School Day will be administered in a digital format that will provide an overall easier testing experience for students. Your student will take the SAT on March 5th using their own school-issued device. Students are strongly encouraged to opt-in to the District’s 1 for All Chromebook program to ensure device compatibility with online testing. If your student has not opted in to the 1 for All Chromebook program, there will be a limited number of Chromebooks available on test day on a first come, first served basis.
