Deadlines expire at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. Late registration or changes may cost extra. Dates can change. Sunday testing and School Day follow separate rules.

1

Pick the application-safe date

Leave enough time for score release and a possible retake before your earliest deadline.

2

Reserve the diagnostic now

Use your starting data to choose skills instead of guessing what to study.

3

Protect the final rehearsal

Schedule the last full test seven to fourteen days before the official date.

Turn a date into a workable week.

TaroPrep's planner uses your SAT date and goal to keep the next lesson, drill, or test visible.

Date questions

When is the next SAT after August 2026?

The next scheduled weekend SAT is September 12, 2026. The regular registration deadline is August 28, and the late/change deadline is September 1 at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time.

Do international students use the same dates?

College Board lists these 2026–27 weekend dates and deadlines for U.S. and international students. Testing locations, fees, and other policies may differ, so confirm them during official registration.

When should I request a borrowed device?

College Board says students who need to borrow a device must register and request it at least 30 days before test day, earlier than the normal registration deadline.
