I'm planning on taking the SAT one more time to boost my score. Does anyone know which is the latest possible SAT date that will still make the cut for regular decision deadlines at most colleges? Thanks!
The last SAT test date that typically falls in line with regular decision deadlines is in the first weekend of December. Most colleges will accept this date, as it allows adequate time for the scores to be processed and sent to colleges by mid-December. However, it's very important to check the specific requirements for each college to which you're applying, as some might have different deadlines.
Additionally, be aware that if you feel your December scores could be a significant improvement, you'll want to indicate on your application that you're planning on taking the December SAT. This gives colleges a heads up to look out for your scores.
