The College Board no longer plans to offer students the option to take the SAT test at home.

The board says it ended plans for the at-home testing because many students didn't have access to three hours of reliable internet.

The coronavirus left the usual testing centers for the SAT, like schools, closed, leaving a number of students unable to take the college admissions test.

The College Board is urging universities to extend SAT deadlines for prospective students.

In-person SAT test will be administered in August.
