*Important Information for U.S. Registration Deadlines:

  • U.S. deadlines apply to students testing in the U.S., U.S. Territories, and Puerto Rico.
  • Mailed U.S. registration materials must be postmarked by the U.S. deadlines.
  • On March 1, only the SAT Reasoning Test™ is offered.
  • Sunday administrations occur the day after each Saturday test date, for students who cannot test on Saturday due to religious reasons.
  • The Language Tests with Listening are offered only in November and only at selected test centers.

**Important Information for International Registration Deadlines:

  • International deadlines apply to anyone testing outside of the U.S., U.S. Territories, and Puerto Rico.
  • Mailed international registration materials must be received by the international deadlines.
  • There is no late registration for international testing. Online and telephone re-registrations must be completed by the international deadline dates listed above.
  • Students registering through an International Representative must submit their paper registration with full payment by the early registration deadline.
  • On March 1, the SAT is not offered, outside the U.S., U.S. Territories, and Puerto Rico.
  • Sunday administrations occur the day after each Saturday test date, for students who cannot test on Saturday due to religious reasons.
  • The Language Tests with Listeember.

Subject Tests

§                         Students can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date. Students cannot take the SAT Subject Tests and the SAT Reasoning Test during the same test administration.

§                         Students must indicate which Subject Tests they plan to take when they register for a test. However, they can change which tests they take up to the test date — except for Language Tests with Listening.

§                         Students may only use a calculator on the Subject Tests in Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2. Both the Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1 and the Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2 have some questions that require the use of at least a scientific calculator. Students can take these tests without using a calculator, but it may put them at a disadvantage

Fees

The registration fee for the SAT Reasoning Test is $41.50.

The registration fee for an SAT Subject Test is $18 but, because the fees for SAT Subject Tests differ, an $18 additional fee is added to the total for all subject tests taken and $19 is added for a Language Test with Listening. These fees cover sending score reports to up to four colleges and scholarship programs.

Test and registration fees (including late fees and telephone re-registration fees) cannot be refunded, even if you cancel your test scores or are absent on test day. Additional service fees for additional score reports, the Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) and the Student Answer Service (SAS) are refundable, as long as these services have not yet been fulfilled. The fee for each additional score report is also refundable. Payment must be made in U.S. dollars.
