Registering for the Tests
Online, mail, and phone registration resources
Students must register for SAT Subject Tests in advance to ensure that the correct materials are waiting for them at the test center on test day. Once registered, each student receives:
- An assigned test center seat
- An Admission Ticket by Web, email, or postal mail
- 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 way to register. It gives immediate confirmation of test-center seating and access to an online Admission Ticket for corrections and reprinting, if necessary.
- Mail registration is sometimes required. Students who provide an email address on the form will receive tickets by email only. Paper registrants who do not provide an email address or who indicate on the form that they want to receive a paper ticket as well will continue to receive an 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.
Late Registration Deadlines
The SAT Program has standardized the length of time available for late registration across all test dates to be at least 14 days. See Test Dates & Deadlines for more information.
SAT® resources
The SAT Program offers numerous downloadable resources, including registration, dates, and fee waiver information, that will help you assist your students to register for the test. 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 362,000 students every year, many of whom take SAT Subject Tests as well as the SAT. We've expanded the service to allow eligible high school freshmen and sophomores to use fee waivers for SAT Subject Test registrations.
