The Colorado School Day SAT will be offered at FRHS at no cost to current students on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. The College Board has discontinued offering the SAT with Essay in national testing centers. The state of Colorado is still under contract with the College Board for the School Day SAT administration in April and is still offering the Essay as an add-on for this test.
When taking the Colorado School Day SAT this spring, 11th-grade students will have the choice of taking the SAT with or without the optional essay. Adding the essay to their SAT registration is a student's choice. Schools or districts do not make policy decisions regarding which students will or will not take the SAT essay.
The default registration for all students is the SAT without essays.
Students who wish to take the optional essay must register for it in advance. The essay registration window is January 7 – February 18, 2025. This will be the only opportunity for students who wish to add the optional essay to their April 15th school day test registration. Students may add the essay to their registration by completing the following Google Form.

Additional Information:
•The SAT Essay is scored separately from the SAT. A student’s score on the essay will not improve or reduce their score on the SAT.
•Students taking the SAT with essay must be tested in a separate room from students taking the SAT without essay. The SAT with essay will take approximately one hour longer than the SAT without essay.
•The optional essay is only offered as part of the 11th grade SAT. There is no essay option for the PSAT 8/9 for 9th graders or the PSAT 10 for 10th graders.
