2021-22 SAT Test Dates & Registration
College Board has recently opened SAT registration for the 2021-22 (US) academic year.
Test dates are as follows:
- 28 August 2021
- 2 October 2021
- 4 December 2021
- 12 March 2022
- 7 May 2022
- 4 June 2022
Registration can be found here and further information on the SAT test and the academic content which is included in the test can be found here.
Last year the US welcomed over one million international students to its colleges and universities. As part of the undergraduate application requirement for nearly all four year institutions, students need to submit a standardised test score, either the SAT (formerly known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the American College Test, ACT, both of which are administered privately and outside of the school curriculum.
Receiving US institutions will have capabilities to interpret results from either test and there is no preference from one test over the other but you should always check with the universities to which you anticipate applying to best understand their testing policies.

If you’re in Year 12 and have 2022 on your mind, heading along to a university open day could equip you with the clarity needed to narrow down your pathway options. Sitting in on lectures, chatting to course co-ordinators and meeting real-life undergraduates are some of the intro activities that generally go down, although like last year, loads will have virtual options too.

Your free guide to a career in Optometry
Given that approximately 75% of vision loss is preventable or treatable, there is usually something that can be done to help your patients. Given that work-related factors such as clinical challenges keep 78% of Australian optometrists happy and satisfied with their profession, you will most likely enjoy this profession if you like the challenge of putting together all the clues to reach a diagnosis and management plan in complex cases.
The scope of practice of optometrists is expanding. Students commencing an optometry degree in the future will be therapeutically endorsed when they graduate. This means that they will be better placed to assist some of their patients who present with eye inflammations, infections and injuries. It is expected that the number of people presenting to optometrists instead of emergency departments with eye injuries will increase
