2009-10 Test Dates and Registration Deadlines
Important Information for All Test-Takers
- Sunday administrations usually occur the day after each Saturday test date, for students who cannot test on Saturday due to religious observance. For the test administration on October 10, the Sunday test date has been moved to October 18 to avoid conflict with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.
- The Language Tests with Listening are offered only in November.
- Deadlines for international test-takers are given below the tables for U.S. students.
- The Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) is offered only on the Saturday test dates in October and January, and for Saturday, Sunday, and school-based testing dates in May.
- The Student Answer Service (SAS) is available only on the test dates for which QAS is not offered—those in November, December, March, and June. It is also available for Sunday and school-based testing dates in October and January.
- The regular deadline for December has been extended one day.
