SAT Administration Dates?

Hey y'all, I'm planning to take the SAT this year and I want to make sure I choose the best date that works for me. When is the SAT usually administered throughout the year?

Hey there! The SAT is typically administered seven times a year. Typically, you can find test dates in the following months: March, May, June, August, October, November, and December. Each of these test dates will have their own deadlines for registration, and late registration is available for an additional fee.

To find the specific test dates and locations for your desired testing month, I recommend checking the College Board website as they have the latest information regarding SAT administrations. Remember that some dates may fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to register as early as possible to secure a seat at a nearby testing location.

Consider when you would be best prepared and have the least number of conflicts with other academic or extracurricular commitments when choosing your test date. Many students opt for the May or June test date towards the end of their junior year and then potentially retake the SAT in August or October of their senior year if they would like to improve their scores. Keep in mind college deadlines for admissions applications and ensure you have your scores sent in time. Good luck with your SAT prep and test-taking!
