SAT test dates typically follow a set formula - the first Saturday in November, December, May and June; the second Saturday in October and March; and the fourth Saturday in January. Sunday administrations usually occur the day after each Saturday test date for students who cannot test on Saturday.

Please note that some high schools may participate in School Day Testing. This allows all students in a school to take the exam during the week in their own classrooms. Students will be told whether their high school participates in School Day Testing.
