I'm trying to plan out my junior year and I want to take the SAT. When are SAT exams usually scheduled? Are there any specific months I should look out for to register?
SAT exams are typically offered seven times a year: in March, May, June, August, October, November, and December. It's important to be aware of the registration deadlines for each test date, as they are usually a few weeks before the test.
As you plan your junior year, you might consider taking the SAT in the spring (March, May, or June) and then again in the early fall (August or October) if you'd like more chances to improve your score. Additionally, you should also consider the PSAT, which is typically taken in October of your junior year, as this can qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Keep track of College Board's website for the exact dates and deadlines, as they may change from year to year. Be sure to leave yourself enough time for SAT preparation. Best of luck with your SAT preparations and junior year!
