The test months haven't changed since last year, but the dates have! We've recorded what we've learned in this article.   UPDATE: SAT test dates are now the same globally. Get the most up-to-date info on [upcoming SAT dates here](https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-test-dates).   ## Upcoming SAT Test Days in 2022 and 2023 We've scoured the College Board website to get the most up to date predictions for international test dates. **[These are the confirmed dates provided by the College Board.](https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/registration/international-testing/dates-deadlines)** Note that **there is no late registration if you are taking the SAT outside of the US**. | **Test Date** | **Registration Deadline/Deadline for Changes** | | --- | --- | | August 27, 2022 | July 29, 2022 | | October 1, 2022 | September 2, 2022 | | December 3, 2022 | November 3, 2022 | | March 11, 2023\* | February 24, 2023 | | May 6, 2023\* | April 21, 2023 | | June 3, 2023\* | May 19, 2023 | *\*[digital SAT](https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-goes-digital)*   ## Guide to Choosing the Best Dates for You So when should you take the SAT? We've developed a thorough guide to considering the best dates for you that details the [four test date factors you should consider](https://blog.prepscholar.com/when-should-you-take-the-sat-or-act-best-test-dates). You should also plan ahead and think about [whether you want to take the SAT more than once](https://blog.prepscholar.com/how-many-times-should-you-take-the-sat). Note that the main difference between International and Domestic testing is that there are fewer international test dates (6 international dates vs 7 domestic dates) and no late registration for international students. The major implication of this is that **you can't always wait for the last test's score to come out before you sign up for the next possible SAT test date**. For example, a domestic student can wait until her March test comes back, and if she did badly, she can register late for the May SAT. Depending on if March scores come out in time, international students might not be able to do this. However, this is not a big loss: few students would want to take two tests in a row because there really isn't time to improve or study in such a short amount of time. Second, if money is not an issue, international students can simply preemptively register for two dates in a row, and then cancel the second test date if they do well on the first test. The cost of cancellation is only the monetary cost of the test. Otherwise, international testing and domestic testing have more similarities than differences! ## Warning: ### SAT Test Dates May Change  **Sign up to Receive Free Updates**   ## What's Next?
