When are the SAT test dates in 2026?

What this means for your prep

Do not leave this answer as background knowledge. Connect it to a practice decision: what to drill, when to test, how to pace a module, or how to interpret a score report.

• If the answer is about timing or format, test it in a timed module.
• If the answer is about scoring, run your current numbers through the score calculator.
• If the answer is about tools or calculator policy, practice the relevant Math question type immediately.

What to do next

1. Pick a target test date and count backward to create a weekly prep schedule.
2. Leave room for at least one retake if your first score is below your college target.
3. Use the final two weeks for timed modules and review, not brand-new content.

Common mistakes

• Choosing a test date too close to application deadlines.
• Registering before checking school events, AP exams, or travel conflicts.
• Waiting until the last week to practice Bluebook pacing.
