2009–2010 Testing Calendar
NOTE: The list below does not include tests that parents sign students up for, tests that affect a very small number of students (e.g., DeBakey entrance exam), and tests that are initiated as part of a procedure (e.g., English-language-skills testing as part of the enrollment process). However, the dates of upcoming administrations of the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT (at participating locations) have been noted as a courtesy. Visit the College Board Web Site for details.
