From 2023 onwards, there will be seven SAT test dates for international students annually instead of five.

These test dates are typically scheduled on the 1st/2nd Saturday of the month. Here are the SAT test dates released for 2023 from College Board, do note that the deadlines expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, US. It’s best to complete registration early once you’ve decided on your test date as seats tend to fill up way before the registration deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I prepare for the SAT?

Here’s our yearly advice to SAT candidates which never go wrong. The preparation time needed would depend on this top 3 factors:

  • Your starting score
  • Whether you’re on school break or not
  • How much time you can dedicate to SAT preparation per week

Step 1 – Focus on the syllabus, concepts & strategies

Typically students need anywhere between 3-6 months to be well-prepared for the SAT. The first month or so should be spent focusing on covering the SAT syllabus, concepts and strategies.

Step 2 – Take full-length SAT tests

Once done, you should move onto doing full-length SAT tests under timed conditions to acclimatize yourself with the actual test. This is also the time to fine-tune your preparation by focusing on specific topics/sections where you’re still getting questions wrong, or working on effective time management.

The only way to progress and build your stamina is by powering through and attempting several practice tests. As soon as you end your test, Prep Zone Academy sends you a score report with areas of improvement for students to focus on. Please ensure though that you are practicing with proper direction and purpose; doing daily tests without addressing your mistakes and weaknesses from previous tests isn’t a very effective approach to preparation.

How About College Applications?

Taking the SAT is crucial, but do remember to keep track of your college application deadlines and work backwards accordingly. Ideally, a good time to attempt the SAT for the first time is in the middle of your junior year (IB year 1 for our international school students and JC 1 for the local students). This way you don’t need to worry about your SAT tests in your senior year (Grade 12) and can focus on school final exams and college applications instead.

Remember, as crucial as it is, the SAT is only one component of your college application. Colleges would be taking into account your school grades, co-curricular activities, leadership roles, volunteer work, references, and application essays when they consider your profile for admission.

Knowing that the test is offered several times does not suggest that you should delay your application process. Don’t be complacent. Plan early & get going!

What’s next?

The first step would be to come up with a preparation plan and timeline for your SAT. The good news – Prep Zone Academy™ has a host of free tools you can utilize to prepare for your SAT.

After that, you can sit down with one of our course managers to discuss your performance, and get advice on how to improve your score to a competitive level.
