When are the SAT/ACT tests given?

The SAT and ACT are each offered several times a year, with most students testing in the spring of junior year and again in the fall of senior year. Knowing the test calendar early lets you build in prep time and retake flexibility before college application deadlines hit. Below are all 2026 SAT and ACT test dates, registration deadlines, and late registration windows, compiled from College Board and ACT official releases.
