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.
