Good to know
- Students who need to borrow a device from College Board must register and request it at least 30 days before test day, which is earlier than the registration deadline.
- Late registration is available worldwide. Additional fees apply.
- Students taking SAT School Day do not register on their own: their school or district registers them. College Board lists the spring 2027 in-school window as March 1 to April 30, 2027.
Anticipated SAT weekend test dates, 2027–28
College Board lists these as anticipated. Registration deadlines are not published yet.
How to pick a date
- Leave yourself time to study before the first date, and time for a second try if you want one.
- Register before the first deadline: late registration costs extra.
- Not sure how much study you need? Take a diagnostic first, then estimate a practice test with the SAT score calculator.
Questions
What happens if I miss the registration deadline?
You can still register late until the later deadline in the third column. Late registration is available worldwide. Additional fees apply.
Are the dates the same outside the U.S.?
Yes. College Board says these weekend test dates and deadlines apply to all students, U.S. and international.
I need to borrow a device. When should I register?
At least 30 days before test day. That is earlier than the registration deadline, because College Board needs time to arrange the device.
