How to Choose Your SAT Test Date
- The deadline for your college applications.
It takes around six weeks for colleges to receive and process your SAT results. This is why it is not advisable to schedule your test when you only have six weeks left before your college application deadlines. You should also consider the deadline for SAT scholarships if you apply also applying for these.
- The number of times you’re taking the SAT test.
Many students take the test at least 2 times until they reach their desired score. If you plan to take the SAT at least twice, it would be good to start taking the test in your junior year.
- Test preparation time.
How much time you need to study or prepare for the test really depends on the student, but it is best to study at least three months before your chosen test date. You need to be able to establish a regular study schedule where you are able to study comfortably at your own pace. Don’t schedule your test when you know the weeks leading to the test will be filled with extracurricular activities.
If you’re taking the test for the second or third time to improve your score, there should also be enough time to study again for the test. If you took your test in October of your Junior Year, then you can take the SAT again in May of the same school year. This should give you enough time to prepare for the second test.
Students usually retake the SAT test if they want to increase their scores in order to meet or exceed the average SAT scores of the colleges they’re applying to or if they need a higher score to increase their chances of receiving scholarships.

What To Bring On Your Test Day
1. Admission Ticket. You are required to present the print out of your admission ticket in your SAT testing center. A paper copy of the ticket is necessary for your admission. You can print the ticket by logging into your College Board account.
Reminder: You are not allowed to take the test (SAT) if you just show your admission ticket on your cell phone or another device.
2. Student’s Photo ID. The test-takers’ photo ID should resemble the image they uploaded to their official College Board account. Check out the acceptable and unacceptable forms of ID below.
Accepted IDs:
- Unexpired government-issued IDs (passport, driver’s license, national ID or military ID)
- Student ID Form (This must be prepared by the school the students currently attend.)
- Current school ID card.
NOT accepted these IDs:
- Expired/damaged IDs or IDs that do not match the student’s College Board photo.
- Unacceptable IDs including ChildFind ID cards, credit or debit cards, employee ID cards, Social Security cards, birth certificates, or any other temporary ID cards.
3. Test-takers are required to bring at least two #2 pencils and a good eraser. The College Board will not allow test-takers to bring liquid paper, highlighters, pens or any other writing utensils – not even for the SAT Essay section.
4. Bring Your Calculator.
- Â Students are allowed to bring a basic four-function calculator (but not recommended) as well as a graphing and scientific calculator.
- Â The test will not allow test-takers to bring cell phones, tablets, laptops, calculators that make noise, a paper tape and an electrical outlet. Students are basically not allowed to bring anything that has communication capabilities and can be disruptive.
As long as students have these four SAT-allowed items, then they should have no trouble being admitted into their SAT testing center. Now that you know the SAT-allowed items to bring to the test, you may take the test and acquire good SAT scores.

What Will Happen If You Miss Your SAT Test Date?
If students have registered for an SAT test date but decided not to take the test, here are two things that will happen:
1. You don’t have to pay registration fees again.
Students will get a credit. The registration fee that students paid for their SAT test will stay in their official College Board account. Although students will not get a refund, the payment will not get lost unless students choose to never take the exam.
2. The students’ registration for that SAT test date will go away.
Registered students will not get a zero on their test for not taking the exam. Also, colleges and universities will never know the test-takers that did not make it to the SAT testing center on their registered test date.
