Initially, SAT was an acronym for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In 1993, the test was renamed the SAT I: Reasoning Test. At the same time, the former Achievement Tests were renamed the SAT II: Subject Tests. SAT has become a simple way of referring to the SAT I: Reasoning Test .

The “College Entrance Examination Board” on behalf of ETS (Education Testing Services) conducts the SAT.

All of the SAT is multiple-choice except for 10 student-produced response math questions. These questions ask you to fill in or "grid-in" your own answers using a special section of the answer sheet.

You can take the test as many times as you want. Your score report will show your current test score, plus scores for up to six SAT and six Subject Test administration dates. SAT is held about 6-7 times a year.

No, telephone re-registration is automated, so we need to have your previous record in order to process the registration request.

Test center assignment is done on a "first come, first served" basis. So although College Board cannot guarantee that you'll get your first choice of test center when you register, registering early gives you the best chance of getting the test center you want. Remember that you can register in advance for any test date during the year, not just the next scheduled date. You can also register online for the following year's test dates beginning in May.
