Attention students! The first SAT exam in 2025 is just around the corner and so is the registration deadline. Here’s everything you need to know, in a simple and easy-to-read format:
- Exam Date: August 23, 2025
- Registration Deadline: August 8, 2025
- Last Date for Changes / Late Registration: August 12, 2025
What Does This Mean for You?
