The deadline for the March 10th SAT is in less than a week!
The SAT test costs $49 if you sign up before February 10th. After that, you’ll incur an additional $26 late fee if you want to take the test.
Typically, the March SAT is the most popular test date of the entire year. According to the New York Times, last spring, more than 1.55 million students took the SAT. An increase over previous years.
Reasons to sign up for the March SAT now include:
- You won’t incur a late fee of $26
- You are more likely to get the test prep site that you want
- You’ll get your scores back in three weeks — so if you aren’t pleased, you can easily take the test again in May
