I like to plan early. I know specific SAT testing dates for 2025 might not be out yet, but based on previous years', can we predict the potential dates?
Yes, generally, you can get an idea of when SAT tests might be offered in 2025 based on the patterns from previous years. Typically, the SAT is administered in August, October, November, December, March, May, and June for U.S. students. As for the specific dates, they often fall on the first or second Saturday of the month, but that can vary.
Keep in mind that, although this pattern has been consistent for a while, it is not guaranteed to continue as such in the future. The College Board may decide to add or remove testing dates, or change the dates slightly. It would be best to keep an eye on the College Board's website, as they usually release the concrete test dates for each school year in the spring of the prior school year.
The SAT is fully digital as of spring 2024, and students will have the ability to reschedule their test date within a particular testing window if something unexpected arises. This flexibility should make your planning somewhat easier!
