What do I do on the day of the test?

Arrive at the designated test center at the assigned test time. Check-in procedures take time. If you arrive late, you may not be admitted to the test, and you will forfeit your test fees.

Bring photo bearing identification, as described in the SAT registration bulletin. Bring your test confirmation information.

What about my scores?

Your official scores will be mailed from the United States about three weeks after the test. Please allow time for them to arrive by international mail.

If you need score reports to be sent to additional institutions, please complete the form in the SAT registration bulletin and return it with payment to the College Board. If paying by credit card, you may also contact the College Board on-line or by telephone as detailed in the registration bulletin.

Questions about any missing score reports (scores not received after eight weeks or longer) should be directed to the Educational Testing Service, which issues the SAT score reports. An e-mail sent to the SAT customer service address sat@ets.org usually will receive a response in five to seven days. Score report problems are best avoided by careful preparation of the registration form: writing name and mailing address clearly and following payment procedures outlined.
