The SAT is a nationally administered standardized college admissions exam taken by many students worldwide for entry into Undergraduate Programs at prestigious Universities. The SAT is offered seven times a year, and you should keep track of the upcoming exam dates and deadlines to align your preparation strategy accordingly.
For those of you who missed taking the exam on June 3, 2018, the College Board has already released the dates and deadlines for the upcoming year (2018-2019). Typically, the SAT is conducted on Saturdays and the registration deadlines, kept 3-4 weeks before the exam, expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, U.S. Most test takers appear for the SAT in the summer of their junior year and then once again in the fall of their senior year. We recommend taking the exam twice for most takers so that they can apply with the best score possible.
