The March SAT is available in the U.S. and Canada only.

The September ACT is available in the U.S. and Canada only.

The February ACT test is not available in New York, possibly due to New York's 1979 Standardized Testing Act (also known as the "Truth In Testing Act"), which requires the release of all test questions for all test administrations.
