Sorry, guys, kind of an SAT newbie here. I keep seeing this term 'sat reg' thrown around and I'm not entirely sure what it means. Can somebody help me out? Thanks!
Hello there! No worries at all, we've all been new to the SAT process at some point!
The term 'sat reg' is short for SAT registration. Basically, it refers to the process of signing up or registering for the SAT exam. During SAT registration, you'll be asked to choose a test date, a test center near your location, decide if you want to do the optional essay (which has been discontinued as of 2021), and pay the registration fee. In terms of fees, the registration cost for the SAT as of August 2024 is $68. Remember that late registration incurs an additional fee of $34, which can be avoided by registering on time.
Registration is typically done online through the College Board website, and you'll need to create a College Board account if you don't already have one. It's important to know deadline dates for registration since they're typically about a month before the actual test date. It's a good idea to register as early as possible to secure a spot at your preferred testing location.
I hope this clear things up! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
