🚨 HEADS UP ANCHORAGE FAMILIES! 🚨 We wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that the June 6th, 2026 SAT test has no remaining seats available in Anchorage or the surrounding areas!

If your student is a junior this year and has not yet taken the SATs, it's crucial to watch the Collegeboard website (https://ftllc.co/4trLrGh) for when the fall test dates open for registration. Generally students should aim to complete testing and have their scores by November 1st of their senior year to allow for early application deadlines. Due to the limited number of test dates and the high demand we've observed, especially in Alaska, we strongly advise registering as soon as possible when those dates become available! Some dates have been filling up as early as two months in advance.

Wondering if your student should still take the SATs?
Check out our blog post to learn more about whether the SATs remain relevant and how they're being used by colleges and scholarships. ➡️ https://ftllc.co/4u4rMxc

If they haven't already, encourage your student to check out the upcoming practice SAT dates on our website and register for free. ➡️ https://ftllc.co/4uBgqAD
