Who is eligible to take the SAT?

Just a quick question, who can actually take the SAT? Do you have to be in a specific grade or is there an age requirement?

To take the SAT, there is no specific age or grade requirement. Although the test is primarily designed for high school students, anyone, including younger students and adults, can register for the SAT. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year in high school, as college applications are generally submitted at that time.

However, it's important to note that middle school students or adults taking the SAT may experience different policies and considerations regarding scores, college admissions, and scholarships. Additionally, the SAT content is based on the high school curriculum, so younger test-takers might find it more challenging. Regardless of age, it's essential to be well-prepared for the test and to understand the purpose of taking the SAT (e.g., early experience, identifying strengths and weaknesses, or applying to college).
