Hey guys! I was just wondering when SATs are usually given during the year? I want to plan my study schedule accordingly. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The SAT is typically offered seven times a year in the United States: in August, October, November, December, March, May, and June. For international test-takers, the SAT is generally available four times a year: in October, December, March, and May.
As you're planning your study schedule, it's a good idea to first choose which test date(s) you're aiming for so you can work backward from there to set your study goals. Make sure you also consider how much time you want for any potential retakes if you don't reach your target score in the first attempt. Additionally, keep in mind the registration deadlines for each test date, which are usually about a month prior to the test.
Good luck with your SAT prep, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions!
