Rescheduling Your SAT: A Step-by-Step Guide

Life throws curveballs, and sometimes that curveball lands right on your SAT test date. Don't panic! Rescheduling your SAT is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, including the steps involved, deadlines, and fees.

Accessing Your College Board Account

  1. Head to the College Board website: https://www.collegeboard.org/ and log in to your account. This is where all your SAT registration information lives.
  2. If you haven't created an account yet, you'll need to do so using the same details you provided when you registered for the test.

Navigating the Rescheduling Process

  1. Once logged in, locate your active SAT registration. Look for a button labeled "Change Registration" or something similar.
  2. This button allows you to cancel your current test date, change your test center, or both.
  3. Important Note: The College Board doesn't allow direct test date changes. You'll need to cancel your current registration before choosing a new date.

Cancellation and Rescheduling

  1. To avoid late fees, cancel your current test date as soon as possible.
  2. After canceling, you can then select a new test date and test center. Remember, space is limited, so act quickly to secure your preferred option.

Fees and Deadlines

Rescheduling your SAT likely incurs a fee:

  • Changing your test center only costs $29.
  • Changing your test date requires canceling and re-registering. If you cancel by the deadline, the fee is $29. If you wait until after the deadline but before Thursday evening before the test, the fee jumps to $39.

Pro Tip: Beat the late fees by rescheduling by 6 p.m. ET on the Monday before your test date.

Confirming Your Changes and Staying Organized

  1. Once you've chosen a new test date and/or center, double-check all the details for accuracy. Typos happen, so be sure!
  2. Confirm your changes and save a copy of your updated registration for your records. You should also receive a confirmation email.

Staying on Top of Things

  • Keep track of deadlines and familiarize yourself with the fees involved.
  • If you qualify for a fee waiver, you may be exempt from some rescheduling costs. Check with the College Board for specifics
