Late registration costs $34 in addition to the standard $68 registration fee, bringing the total to $102. Students who are eligible for fee waivers do not have to pay the late registration fee.
Late registration is an extended period following the regular deadline when you can still sign up for the SAT. This window usually lasts a few days after the regular deadline, allowing students who missed the original cutoff to register for the test.
If you miss both the regular and late registration deadlines, the College Board does not currently offer a waitlist option. You will need to plan for the next available test date.
To register late, sign into your College Board account, select your preferred test date and location from available options (noting that availability may be limited), and complete the registration by paying the applicable fees.
For the May 3, 2025 test date, the late registration deadline is April 22, 2025. For the June 7, 2025 test date, the late registration deadline is May 27, 2025. All deadlines expire at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time.
No, students who are eligible for fee waivers do not have to pay the late registration fee. They only need to pay the standard registration fee.
