According to CNN, the organisation behind the college placement exam, the College Board, has announced that it would no longer administer the SAT in May amid coronavirus concerns.

"The College Board will remain focused on student safety and ensuring all students have the tools they need to work, and opportunities to receive the credit they have earned, during this challenging time," it said in its statement.

The ACT, which also administers college placement exams in the US, announced similar measures regarding its April test.
