CollegeBoard SAT Signup?

Hey, I'm looking to take the SAT soon but wasn't sure how to sign up through CollegeBoard. Can somebody walk me through the process? Thanks!

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with the SAT registration process! Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. First, go to the CollegeBoard website (www.collegeboard.org).

2. If you haven't already, create a CollegeBoard account by clicking "Create Account" and providing the necessary information.

3. Once you've created an account and signed in, find the "SAT" tab in the top menu and click on it.

4. Next, click on "Register for the SAT" on the SAT page.

5. You will now be guided through a series of steps to complete your registration.

6. First, select the test date for which you want to register. Keep in mind that registration deadlines are usually about a month before the test date.

7. You'll then be prompted to choose a testing center near your location. Select one that's convenient for you. Be aware that popular sites might fill up, so if you have a particular one in mind, make sure to register early.

8. After choosing a testing location, you will need to upload a photo that meets the Photo Requirements mentioned on the CollegeBoard website.

9. Next, you'll need to provide some personal information including your high school coursework, your potential college major, and your college preferences. This information helps CollegeBoard to provide you with personalized resources and opportunities.

10. Once you've completed all sections, you'll need to review your registration and pay the required test fee. The SAT test fee is currently $60, but will be going up to $68 in August, 2024. Make sure to double-check your registration details before submitting your payment. If you're worried about the cost, consider checking with your school counselor about your eligibility for a fee waiver.

After you've successfully registered and paid, you will receive a confirmation email with your test center location and other relevant details. Be sure to print your Admission Ticket and bring it with you on the test day, along with an accepted photo ID and other required materials, such as an approved calculator.
