The College Board, which administers the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), has canceled the March 14 test for all registered students in China as well as those who plan to travel from China to testing locations in other countries, in the light of the coronavirus outbreak.
“We have been monitoring the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and as the situation evolves, we are focused on the health and safety of students and educators,” a College Board spokesperson said in an email to Inside Higher Ed. “In accordance with the guidance issued by international health organizations, evolving travel restrictions, and concern for the virus spreading, we have cancelled the March SAT administration in China and the registrations of students who appear to be traveling from China to other countries to take the SAT.”
