How to Choose Your SAT Test Dates (2025)
If you're applying Early Action or Early Decision, your first SAT should be done by the June or August test date before senior year. For Regular Decision, aim to have your testing completed by the fall. Most students take the SAT twice to take advantage of superscoring.
How to Align Test Dates With Your Prep Timeline
A great test plan starts with your SAT prep timeline. Most students need at least 8-12 weeks of prep, especially for the new Digital SAT format. Orbit AI builds an adaptive plan that auto-updates with your test dates and progress, helping you know when to start, test, and retake.
