Thinking about tackling the SAT in September? It's a smart move to get those dates locked down early. The College Board has opened up registration for the entire 2025-26 testing year, which is great news for anyone planning ahead. All deadlines, by the way, wrap up at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time in the U.S.
For those eyeing a September test date, the big one to circle is September 13, 2025. Now, to make sure you're actually on that test date, you'll want to have your registration in by August 29, 2025. And if you need to make any changes, cancel, or if you're looking at late registration, that deadline is September 2, 2025.
It's also worth remembering that if your religious beliefs prevent you from testing on a Saturday, the College Board does offer Sunday testing options. You'll need to request this, and specific dates are available for it.
For students who might need to borrow a device from the College Board, it's crucial to register and request that device well in advance. The sooner you get that sorted, the better.
Looking a bit further out, the confirmed test dates for the 2026-27 academic year are also starting to appear. For Fall 2026, you'll see dates like August 22, September 12, October 3, November 7, and December 5. And for Spring 2027, mark your calendars for March 6, May 1, and June 5.
Anticipated dates for 2026-27 are also available, with slight variations. Fall 2026 includes August 15, September 12, October 3, November 7, and December 5. Spring 2027 dates are March 13, May 1, and June 5.
When it comes to accommodations, planning is key. Requests and all required documentation need to be submitted well in advance, as the approval process can take up to seven weeks. For the September 13, 2025 SAT, the accommodations request deadline is July 25, 2025. Missing these deadlines can mean accommodations aren't approved or ready for test day, so it's definitely worth starting early, often through your school, as they can streamline the process.
