Notes

† Online SAT and ACT scores are commonly released over the course of several days. The date shown in the table is the earliest date at which scores for multiple-choice test sections will be available, typically at roughly 5 a.m. Eastern Time for the SAT, and roughly 1 a.m. Eastern Time for the ACT. Scores for the optional ACT writing section are generally available about two weeks after the ACT multiple-choice scores are posted.

* Dates with an asterisk are tentatively scheduled.

♢ The July ACT test is not available in New York, due to New York's 1979 Admissions Testing Law (also known as the "Truth-In-Testing Law"), later amended as New York Education Law (Section 342), which requires the release of all test questions for four test administrations in the state.

Current U.S. registration fees are $55.00 for the SAT, and $60.00 for the ACT (without writing), and $80.00 for the ACT (with writing).

Current U.S. late fees are $30 for the SAT and $35 for the ACT. Standby testing is available for the ACT for an additional fee of $56. No standby testing is available for the SAT; however, post-deadline registration to be on a waitlist is available for an additional fee of $53. Standby and waitlist fees are charged only if the student is admitted to the test center.

Locations to take the tests can be found here: ACT Test Center Locations and SAT Test Centers.

The March SAT is available in the U.S. and Canada only.

The September ACT is available in the U.S. and Canada only.

Dates are for U.S registration only. See collegeboard.com and actstudent.org for a complete list of SAT dates and ACT dates for the U.S. as well as international locations.

The "Register by" dates are both the latest postmark dates for registration by mail and the latest submission dates for phone or online registration without incurring the late fee. (Phone or online for SAT: deadlines expire at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the date shown.) The second date shown is the final available date for online or phone registration.

SAT paper score reports are generally mailed within roughly ten days after scores are made available. ACT paper score reports are mailed from two to eight weeks after the test date.
