SAT Testing on Sundays
For students who cannot test on Saturdays due to religious observance, Sunday administrations are typically offered the Sunday following each Saturday test date. Be sure to check with the official SAT registration site for confirmation of Sunday test availability for each session.
Registration Deadlines
It’s important to note the registration deadlines for each test date. These deadlines are the last date you can register without incurring a late fee. Missing a registration deadline may also mean that you miss the chance to take the SAT on your preferred test date. You can find all registration deadlines and details on the official SAT website.
Score Release Dates
Once you’ve completed your SAT, you’ll need to wait for your scores to be released. The SAT typically releases scores about two weeks after each test date. Be sure to keep an eye on the estimated score release dates for each test, as these can help you plan your next steps in the college application process.
