WASHINGTON – Parents and students alike stress over taking the SATs, and one school system wants to ease the pain.

The Prince George’s County Public Schools will offer free SAT tests to seniors in October. The reading, writing and math exams are offered on a school day.

Seniors need to sign up by Oct. 3.

In addition to free tests, the school system links seniors to two online courses, “The SAT Question of the Day” and “Skills Insight.”

Testing takes place on Oct. 17. Students can register online.
