Registering for the SAT Test

You can register for the SAT test online or by mail.

Registering for SAT Online

Registering for the SAT online is the quickest and most convenient method of registration. To register online, go to the SAT official website registration page and fill out the form accordingly. Have a credit card ready, because you'll need one to pay for SAT registration fees.

Registering for SAT by Mail

To register by mail, you need a Registration Bulletin which you can get from your school counselor's office. The required form and return envelope are in the Registration Bulletin.

Standby Registration

If you miss the SAT registration deadline, you might still be able to take the test. To be considered for standby testing, go to the test center on the day of the test at 7:45. Bring the envelope from the Registration Bulletin with your $35 standby fee in addition to the regular test fee. If there's room, then you'll be allowed to take the test that day, but there are no guarantees.

Fee Waiver

If you are unable to pay SAT registration fees, you might be able to get your fees waived. Check with your school counselor, who can provide you with the forms you need to apply for a fee waiver.
