Afterward, you and your student will receive a detailed score report, providing a clear benchmark and identifying key areas for growth.

Step 2: Schedule a Free Consultation

Once your student completes their practice test, you’ll meet with one of our expert Program Directors for a personalized consultation. Together, they’ll review the results, highlight your student’s strengths, and create a customized tutoring plan tailored to their specific needs—ensuring they build confidence and maximize their potential.

When Should You Take the SAT?

Choosing the right SAT test date is an important step in your student’s test prep journey. We recommend allowing 10–16 weeks of preparation leading up to test day. Since most students take the SAT two to three times to maximize their scores, a well-planned timeline can make all the difference.

SAT Test Date Options

National SAT Test Dates

The SAT is offered multiple times a year on national test dates. Planning ahead ensures your student can prepare effectively and take advantage of multiple testing opportunities.

School Day SAT

Some schools offer the SAT on designated weekdays through The College Board’s fee-based School Day SAT program. Check with your student’s school to see if this option is available.

How to Register

To register for an SAT test date, your student must create an account on The College Board website and select their preferred test date and location.

By planning ahead and choosing the right test date, your student can approach the SAT with confidence!
