SAT Test Dates for 2025-26

SAT is a standardized test mainly taken by high school juniors and seniors to assess their college readiness. The test primarily focuses on the concepts the students learn in high school and provides a standard platform for all students. Developed and published by the College Board, which also conducts several other popular tests, SAT is administered by ETS.

SAT is administered in public schools and educational institutions several times a year. Traditionally, it was administered on certain Saturdays, but now it is also administered on weekdays.
