It was probably on a Friday and testing probably was happening Saturday morning and they were busy setting up the gym with tables for check-in or possibly desks for testing directly in the large room rather than individual classrooms. Most schools don't have an abundance of large spaces and one has to be sacrificed.

    Schools in the US have tests on Saturdays? We don't really have an equivalent to SATs here in Canada, but I figured it was just a summary exam or something you took like anything else.

    No, it's not a mandated test or anything. It's basically a college entrance exam.

    Schools are often used to hold the tests because they're already equipped to handle it. But, the tests can be hosted at different locations.

    SATs and Pre-SATs (just practice SATs) are optional and not part of the curriculum (literally run by a private, albeit non-profit, company). While it's not required you take it, good luck getting into college without an SAT score, and most high-schools have dates you can pay/register and come in to take the test.

    Wild. We just have pre-requisite courses that typically qualify you for University programs. You overall grades matter, but there's nothing like an SAT
