Registering for the August 22 SAT®
Students who want the standard registration window should complete registration by August 7. Late registration remains available through August 11 and may require an additional fee. The August 11 date is also the published deadline for changes and regular cancellation.
Students requesting a device from College Board need to act earlier. College Board says a device must be requested at least 30 days before test day. Registration and test-center availability are separate issues, so an open registration period does not guarantee that every nearby location still has a seat.
For the complete annual calendar, compare every administration in the 2026-2027 SAT® test date schedule.
