we hear otherwise next fall.

SAT Subject Tests (A.K.A. SAT II tests) that are relevant in the spring of
sophomore year are Physics and World History. Not everyone takes these but if
your student did well in those courses, they might consider taking one or both of
these in the spring.

Lakeside’s final exams (there are also administrations in other months)
