How to Register

Your student can register for the SAT by signing up for an account on the College Board website. For each SAT, there is a Register-By Date, as well as a Late Registration date. Additional fees accompany late registration for the SAT.

Standby Testing

If your student was unable to register for the SAT in time, standby testing is an option for test takers under the age of 21. In order to register for standby SAT testing, your student will need to obtain a registration form at his/her school office and fill it out. They will need to bring the completed form with a check or money order for all fees, including the standby fee ($43), to the test center on test day no later than 7:45 a.m. Please keep in mind that standby testing cannot be guaranteed and is based on seat capacity. As a general rule, we will admit standby testers to replace test takers who were registered but did not show up.

Changing a Test Date/Center

Changes to your student’s test center or test date can be made online through your free account or by calling Customer Service (866-756-7346). In order to make these changes, your student must update her/his account no later than the Wednesday 2-3 weeks before the test date, pay an additional change fee ($25), and print an updated ticket. A credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) is required to pay the change fee. When making the change by phone, be ready to tell the Customer Service representative your student’s registration number, test date, and the credit card information.
