Your registration photo must be recent, show a clear view of your face against a plain background, and be free of filters or accessories like hats or sunglasses. Review the official Photo Requirements page to ensure your image meets College Board specifications.
Use the SAT Test Center Search tool to locate centers near your home or school. Research available options for feedback on facilities, and register early to increase your chances of securing a spot at your preferred location.
Submit your accommodation request as early as possible, since approvals can take several weeks. Work with your school counselor or the Services for Students with Disabilities coordinator to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted promptly.
