College Board is the organization that administers the SAT. To sign up for the SAT, you will need to visit their website at www.collegeboard.org. Once on the main page, click on the “SAT” tab.
If you do not have a College Board account, you will need to create one. Click the “Register” button and fill in your personal details, including your name, date of birth and email address. You will also have to create a username and password. Remember that the legal identification document you register with is the one you must bring on the day of the exam.
Once the account is created, you can start the registration process. Choose the exam date and location that best suits you. On the website you can see the available exam dates and locations.
You will need to upload a photo of yourself to complete the registration process. The photo must meet a series of specific requirements, such as being a recent photo and being taken on a white or off-white background. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid delays in the registration process.
You can pay the fee online using a credit or debit card. If you cannot pay the fee, you can qualify for a fee exemption.
Before submitting your registration, please carefully review all information to ensure it is correct. Once you have confirmed that everything is correct, submit your registration.
Once you have registered for the SAT, you will receive an admission ticket. Print it out and take it with you on exam day. The admission ticket includes important information such as the exam date, location and start time.

Special Adaptations
If you need special accommodations due to a disability, you can request it during the registration process. College Board offers, among other things, the ability to extend test time, take extra breaks, or print test booklets in large size (for the paper SAT). To request accommodations, you will need to provide documentation of your disability and request accommodations through the College Board website. Here is a link to a detailed post about special accommodations for the SAT.
Don’t Forget When Registering
- Check your personal details: Be sure to double check your personal details, including your name, date of birth and address, before submitting your registration. Any errors in your personal details could lead to problems with your exam or even disqualification.
- Choosing the right test date: Make sure you choose the right test date for you and that it coincides with your college application deadlines. You don’t want to miss your preferred exam date because you didn’t register early enough.
- Check the location of the test center: Check the location of your test center and be sure to validate the directions to the test center before the day of the test. Remember that you can’t be late.
- Understand the rules and regulations: It is essential to read and understand the rules and regulations of the SAT test. Familiarize yourself with test-taking procedures, time limits, and other critical instructions. This will help you avoid any confusion or anxiety during the exam.

Signing up for the SAT may seem overwhelming, but following these steps can help make the process more manageable.
