registration checklist

Before you go deep into prep, let’s make sure your SAT registration is squared away. For most students, this is probably filler, so feel free to skip, but there's so many students that forget to register, and we don't want that to happen to you. That's why we created this section as a reminder.

Confirm Your Date

Visit the official College Board calendar and pick your target test date.
Consider your current prep status — most students prep for 6–12 weeks.

Create a College Board Account

Go to account.collegeboard.org and set up your official login.
Use a real email you check. This is how you’ll get your scores.

Choose a Test Center

Seats fill fast — register early to get your preferred location.
Double-check travel time and any test-day logistics now to avoid surprises later.

Pay and Confirm

Payment secures your seat — registration isn’t official until it's processed.
If eligible, apply for a fee waiver via your school counselor or College Board's waiver program.

Save Your Confirmation

Screenshot or print your admission ticket.
Mark the date on your calendar and set reminders.
