The covid-19 pandemic has further raised the importance of finding common measures to evaluate students applying to universities from across the globe. School closures and remote learning have led many high schools to eliminate grading or switch to a pass-fail system out of necessity. Additionally, lockdowns have prevented students from pursuing a wide range of activities, from athletics and community service to research and internships. As the education system grapples with the impacts of the virus on students, the SAT adds valuable information and context in aiding a holistic review and other contextual admissions practices.

As part of an ongoing series of SAT validity research, the College Board released new studies that examined the relationship between SAT performance and higher education outcomes among international students at U.S. universities titled Validity of the SAT for Enrollment-Related Decisions: Focus on International Students Attending College in the U.S. and among students at universities outside the U.S. titled  Examining the Validity of the SAT at Higher Education Institutions Outside of the U.S.

We invite you to join us for live webinars for global higher education professionals where we’ll share key findings from these studies along with other insights on international SAT participation and international student decision making during this pandemic. Ample time will be allotted to answer participants' questions.
