Hello! I'm planning to take the SAT soon but I can't seem to find info on when it's administered. Could someone tell me when the SATs usually happen? Thanks!
Hello! The SAT is administered by the College Board, and it's typically offered seven times throughout the year: in March, May, June, August, October, November, and December. These tests are usually held on Saturdays. If you have a conflict with the Saturday testing date due to religious observances or other reasons, you may request a Sunday testing instead.
The registration deadlines for these test dates are generally around a month prior to the test itself. It's important to plan ahead and register early to ensure you secure a spot at your preferred testing center.
To find the exact date of each test and the registration deadlines, you can visit the College Board's website where they post the annual SAT test calendar. Make sure you're aware of the deadline for the test date you're interested in, as there may be late registration deadlines which involve additional fees.
Remember that preparing for the SAT takes time and consistent effort, so choose a test date that gives you enough time to build a strong study plan. Good luck with your SAT preparation!
