Registration by Mail
Online registration is the simplest and quickest way to register; however, you may need to register by mail, if one of the following applies to you:
- if you want to pay by check or money order
- if you are younger than 13 years old
- if you are registering for the first time for Sunday testing
- if you are requesting that we open a test center nearer your home
- if you are registering with a request for SSD accommodations that has not yet been approved or was approved for a different school
If you attend a school in Hong Kong, you may need additional information.
To register by mail, you need an SAT Registration Booklet, which is available at your school counselor's office. The Registration Form and return envelope are included in the SAT Registration Booklet.
Your completed registration form must be returned in the envelope provided with proper payment.
The SAT Registration Booklet contains test dates, registration deadlines, fees, instructions, test center codes, and other registration-related information.
If Your Paper Registration Is Returned to You
If mandatory information is missing from your Registration Form, we will return it to you unprocessed so that you may complete and resubmit the form. Here are some common reasons why this might happen:
- Your name was incomplete.
- You submitted insufficient or no payment or a payment that could not be processed.
- You asked for a Subject Test that is not given on the date you selected.
- Your registration was postmarked (or received, for international testing) after the deadline.
- You requested Sunday testing or opening a test center closer to home without enclosing the required letter.
- You did not select a test or a test center.
Read the letter that accompanies your returned registration to find out how to correct and resubmit your registration.
