Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next SAT test date?

The next SAT is on Saturday, November 7, 2026.

How do I register for the SAT?

Sign in at My SAT (myaccount.collegeboard.org) before the regular registration deadline. Late registration costs an extra fee and closes a few weeks before each test.

When are SAT scores released?

Scores are typically released about two to three weeks after each test date. Each row in our calendar above lists the exact score-release date when published.

How many times can I take the SAT?

You can take the SAT as many times as you want. Most students take it 1–3 times. Many colleges accept your superscore (the highest section scores across multiple sittings).

Are the 2026–27 SAT dates final?

Yes. College Board has published the 2026–27 test dates and registration deadlines. Score-release dates marked (est.) are our estimate, about two weeks after each test, until College Board publishes them.
