Registering for the September 12 SAT®
College Board lists August 28 as the regular-registration deadline for the September 12 SAT®. September 1 is the published deadline for late registration, changes, and regular cancellation; late registration may require an additional fee.
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.
