Is your SAT score enough to get you into your dream school?

Our free chancing engine takes into consideration your SAT score, in addition to other profile factors, such as GPA and extracurriculars. Create a free account to discover your chances at hundreds of different schools.

Each year, millions of students around the world line up to take their SATs, hoping that their scores will be competitive enough to earn acceptance to the college of their choice. In the 2015-2016 school year, over 6.7 million students completed an SAT or PSAT-related assessment. This includes about 1.7 million graduating members of the class of 2016 who took the SAT at least once during their high school career.

 

This number is all the more impressive considering that the SAT is only offered on a handful of select dates every year. In fact, up until 2016, the test was offered officially just seven times per year. (Sunday test dates were offered to students who applied separately for a Saturday-testing exemption based on religious beliefs.)

 

What does the annual SAT calendar look like?

Beginning in 2017, the SAT is now offered eight times per year. The additional testing date falls in August and represents the earliest test date in a new school year.

 

The SAT is typically offered on the first Saturday of the month for the November, December, May, and June administrations. The remaining administration dates vary somewhat but generally include a date in the second half of January; a date that alternates annually between March and April; and a date in early October. The newly-added August test administration date falls at the end of the month.

 

It’s important to note that if you are registering for SAT Subject Tests, not all subjects are available on every test administration date. You’ll need to check the calendar to find which subject tests are available on specific administration dates.

 

Generally, SAT dates are released by the school year rather than the calendar year. Anticipated dates are released up to two years in advance, but administration dates are not confirmed officially until the summer before the corresponding school year.

 

The SAT calendar also includes dates for:

 

  • General registration, which usually closes one month before the test administration date
  • Late registration, which usually closes two weeks before the test administration date
  • Registration changes, which usually close 10 days before the test administration date
  • Score release, which usually occurs three weeks after the test administration date

Specific registration deadlines and confirmation of anticipated test dates for the 2017-2018 school year are expected by summer 2017.

 

Keep in mind that U.S. registration materials that are mailed must be postmarked by the U.S. deadlines. The deadlines expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, U.S.

 

You should also know that additional registration fees apply if you register late, change your test center, change your test date, or switch from taking the SAT to taking a Subject Test after registering. If you miss the late registration deadline, you may be able to get on the waitlist.

 

Sunday administrations usually occur the day after each Saturday test date for students who cannot test on Saturday due to religious observance.
