Upcoming 2026 SAT Dates

SAT® registration is now open for fall 2026. Many colleges require or consider SAT scores as part of their holistic admission and placement decisions, and your score is a great way to show colleges you’re ready. This year, it will be more convenient to take the SAT on your schedule, with dates available every month through the end of the year, beginning in August, and the ability to join the Waitlist if the date or test center you prefer is already filled.

Most juniors take their first SAT in the spring, and many take it again in the fall of their senior year to improve their score. The SAT can help you keep your college options open, demonstrate your unique strengths, and even qualify for scholarships. And with 100% free practice resources, now including enhanced tailored practice based on your prior test scores and free small-group tutoring, you’ll have everything you need to get prepared.

Penn Manor will host a School Day SAT exam in October of 2026.  More details to come.

School Day SAT

We will be offering the School Day SAT on March 10th or April 7th.  

The test will begin first thing in the morning and will likely be over before flex is over.  The expectation will be that you will remain in school after the SAT is over.  

The test will be Digital and you will need your laptop fully charged the day of testing.

The cost to take the School Day SAT is $60.  Your payment will be collected by Penn Manor.  You will pay online using the district payment option (off of the district website).  Your space is not secured until your payment is received.   You may not use a fee waiver to cover the School Day SAT, but you can get a fee waiver for a weekend SAT.

The deadline to sign up and submit payment is February 3rd.  Sign up using the Google form below.

If you have any questions please reach out to your School Counselor via email or Mrs. Ulmer at gail.ulmer@pennmanor.net.

Ways to Prepare for the SAT

Log in to Bluebook (on your student laptop) and take a full length practice test or preview a test.  You will need a College Board account to log in.  You can create an accout right in Bluebook if needed.

After taking the PSAT or the a full length practice test in Bluebook, you can link the test to Khan Academy for free, personalized practice.

Log into your College Board account and sign up for the "Question of the Day" to get a daily Math and/or Reading question each day.  These are often old SAT test questions and come with the answer and an explanation.

How and When to Access Your AP Test Scores

Students will receive access to AP scores based on their location starting in early July.  Scores can be accessed by signing into your College Board account using your username and password.  If you do not remember your sign in information, use the forgot username and password functions.  Students will also receive an email in early July reminding them how and when to access their scores.

To send your AP Scores to a college you will also sign in to your College Board account and follow the prompts.

The SAT is now fully Digital

Whether you take the School Day SAT at Penn Manor or the weekend SAT at a nearby school you will need to take your school issued, fully charged Chromebook with you.  The test is fully digital and runs on Bluebook.  Bluebook is installed on all student laptops and can be accessed by logging off of your student accounts and opening up the apps button on the bottom of your screen.
