SAT The Scholastic Aptitude Test is generally taken by high school juniors and seniors as part of their admission process in applying to colleges. Our Rye Junior High School 7th and 8th graders may be invited to take this test as part of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Search program. Students who earn a minimum score of 95th percentile on their NECAP test in certain subtests qualify for participation. Invitational letters and registration forms are sent home in October and must be completed in order to participate. More information is available online at www.sat.org.
