I think it's great. I'd like to run it every available test date next year.

Thank you for simplifying our role as administrators. Tools are easy to use and info is clear and handy.

I was very nervous leading up to this, but the experience was very easy and self-explanatory. I didn't have any issues. Digital is easier and quicker. I would 100% do it again.

Widely Accessible. Widely Recognized.

The SAT is an accessible test recognized by institutions around the world for its ability to open doors for students. Each year, students across nearly 200 countries take the SAT to apply to universities in the U.S. and in more than 80 countries across the globe. In the class of 2025, over two million students took the SAT.

Why Host the SAT?

Today, colleges and universities widely accept the SAT as a critical and reliable source of information for their admissions and placement decisions, as well as scholarship opportunities. Give your students first access: Beginning in fall 2026, SAT test centers with a school code (AI code) can reserve a portion of weekend seats for their own students before all seats become available to the public.

Here are several reasons you should apply to become an SAT test center:

  • Empower local students. Make testing accessible for every student—no long drives or limited seats.
  • Open doors to opportunity. The SAT connects students to scholarships, colleges, and career insights based on their scores and skills.
  • Meet growing demand. More than two million students in the class of 2025 took the SAT, and interest continues to rise as more colleges reinstate test score requirements.
  • Bolster student applications. Nearly all colleges accept SAT scores, and 80% of students tell us they want the option to submit them.
  • Support continued success. Over one-third of SAT Weekend test takers also took the SAT during the school day, with weekend testing allowing them to improve their scores or meet application deadlines.
  • Receive support and recognition, with test center staff earning honoraria.
