With only three testing windows left for 2025, you may be wondering for which month you should be sitting to take the Digital SAT. For juniors, it’s recommended that you take either October or November to have an idea of where you stand. You will have time to know your strengths and work on your weaknesses and tackle the exam again in the Spring semester. For seniors, it’s a different story. If you are thinking of applying Early Decision or Early Action, it’s important to get your desired score in October to send it in by the ED/EA deadline. We recommend that you finish testing by November, as December will get hectic as you’ll be busy applying for colleges.

Looking to take the SAT this winter 2025 semester? Don’t miss any of the important deadlines for either test!

Confused about what the different deadlines mean? Here are some helpful clarifications on the different dates for both tests:

• You may register for an exam AFTER the Registration deadline until the Late Registration deadline for an additional fee of $34. 

• You may cancel your registration for any Digital SAT test before the Regular Cancellation deadline for a fee of $29 dollars.

• Late cancellation is canceling by the Thursday 11:59 p.m. ET before test day. The fee for late cancellation is $39.

• Any changes in your test date or test center can be made before the Late Registration deadline.

• Changing your name, date of birth, gender, photo, or any accommodations can be made until the Monday before your test.

• You can change your address and high school until nine days before your test.
