Hey everyone, I'm a little bit stressed right now as I haven't gotten the SAT score I wanted yet. What is the latest date I can take the SAT in senior year for it to still be considered in my college applications? Thanks in advance for your help!
It's completely understandable to be a bit stressed about timing your SAT for college applications. The latest SAT date that is generally safe for regular admission consideration is the December test of your senior year. Most colleges will accept scores from this date. However, for early decision or early action applications, the latest is typically the October or November test during your senior year. Make sure to check the specific deadlines for each college you are applying to, as they can sometimes vary. In addition, you should account for the time it takes for the College Board to send your scores to your prospective schools, which could be a couple of weeks. When you register for your SAT, you can indicate the colleges you want to send your scores to, which can speed up the process. Keep your head up, and good luck with your next test!
