Registering for the Test

Online, mail, and phone registration resources for the SAT Reasoning Test

Students must register in advance for the SAT Reasoning Test to ensure that the correct materials are waiting for them at the test center. With registration, each student receives:

  • An assigned test center seat
  • An admission ticket
  • Up to four score reports sent to colleges and scholarship services

Registration is easy. Help your students choose the best registration method:

  • Online registration is the fastest, most accurate method. It gives immediate confirmation of the test-center seat and access to an online admission ticket for corrections and reprinting.
  • Mail registration is sometimes required. Students receive their admission ticket in the mail.
  • Phone registration is offered for retaking the test. A fee applies. Only students who have a previous registration in the system can register by phone.

SAT® resources

The SAT Program offers numerous downloadable resources including registration (.pdf/2.4MB), dates (.pdf/59K), and fee-waiver information (.pdf/970K) that will help you assist your students in registering for the test. Requires Adobe Reader (latest version recommended). Many of these materials are sent to your school in late summer. 

Fee waivers

With your help, the College Board grants fee waivers to more than 325,000 students every year. Learn more about the SAT Program Fee-Waiver Service, including understanding eligibility guidelines, obtaining materials, and helping students register with fee waivers.
