* Test Date and Location Selection: Choosing a specific SAT test date and the testing center where you'll take the exam. This is the most fundamental aspect of registration.
* Fee Payment: The cost of the SAT exam itself. This may include additional fees depending on the services selected.
* Fee Waivers: Applying for a fee waiver if you qualify based on financial need. This eliminates the cost of the test.
* Test Accommodations: Requesting accommodations if you have a documented disability or learning difference. This requires providing documentation.
* Score Choice: Selecting whether to send all your scores to colleges or only your best scores. Note that some colleges require all scores.
* Score Reporting: Specifying which colleges and universities you want to receive your scores directly from the College Board. There is a limit to the number of free score reports. Additional reports may cost extra.
* Additional Services: This might include:
* SAT Subject Tests (if offered): Registration for optional SAT Subject Tests, depending on the availability and college requirements. Note: Subject tests are not currently offered.
* Question and Answer Service (QAS): Paying extra to receive a copy of your test and your answers.
* Student Answer Service (SAS): Provides a copy of your answers, but not the questions or your score.
In short, SAT registration isn't just about picking a date; it's about managing all the details surrounding your test-taking experience and ensuring your scores are sent where they need to go.
