August SAT registration for the 2025–26 testing year is already open, because registration is open for the entire 2025–26 SAT year at once.

Quick Scoop

  • The official SAT dates page states that “registration is open for all students for the entire 2025–26 testing year.”
  • That means you do not have to wait for a special “August” opening day; you can register now for any available 2025–26 test date, including the August SAT.
  • Future years (like 2026–27) also list an August test date (for example, August 22, 2026), but exact registration open dates are not broken out separately; historically, August dates have opened several months in advance, sometimes as early as mid‑spring.

How to handle it

  1. Create or log into your College Board account and go to the SAT “Dates & Deadlines” page. This is where live registration availability appears.
  1. Check the August test date you want and see if your local center has seats; if so, you can lock it in immediately.
  2. If you’re planning farther ahead (like August 2026–27 and beyond), start checking that page regularly in the spring, since the exact “open” day for August is not officially pre‑announced and can shift year to year.
