Students enlisted in military academies or applying for ROTC scholarships are encouraged to take the SAT in the spring of their junior year. The latest date for ROTC scholarship applications is mid-October of the student’s senior year. Some students may choose to take this test prior to the 11th grade. The SAT may be taken more than once.

SAT II: Subject Test: These are one-hour tests in any of 13 subjects. A maximum of three may be taken on any one testing day. They are offered at the same time as the SAT I and the registration form is the same. Subject tests are required by some selective out-of-state schools, along with the SAT I.
