ISBE requires all public-school students in grade 11 to take the SAT
with Essay, unless the student takes the grade 11 DLM-AA instead. Additionally, some public-school students in grade 12 may also be required to take the SAT with Essay or
DLM-AA, as appropriate. Please see the
flowchart document
for details about which grade 12 students are required to test.
Beginning in spring 2019, ISBE began assessing all public-school students in grade 9 with the PSAT 8/9 and all public-school students in grade 10 with the PSAT 10, unless the student takes the grade 9 or 10
DLM-AA instead.
