Special Circumstances

Sunday testing is only available if you cannot test on a Saturday due to religious observance. Sunday test dates immediately follow each Saturday test date. Testing on both Saturday and Sunday is not permitted, and Sunday testing is not available in India or Pakistan.

If you are registering for Sunday testing for the first time, register by paper as follows:

1. Use code 01000 on your paper registration

   Fill out a paper registration form. Make sure that you fill in 01000 for the test center code. Leave the second choice blank.

2. Submit an explanation of religious observance

   Include a written and signed explanation from your cleric on letterhead from your religious institution, with your registration form.

3. Submit your registration by mail

   Mail the registration, with proper payment and letter from your cleric:
   • No later than the postmark deadline date for regular registration if you are testing in the United States or U.S. territories or commonwealths.
   • In time to be received by the early registration deadline date if you are testing in an international location.

If you have tested previously on a Sunday, you can register online or use telephone re-registration. If you register by mail, you must submit a letter from your cleric with every paper registration form you mail.

If you miss the registration deadline and wish to test on a Sunday as a standby, you must bring a completed registration form, fees and the letter from your cleric with you to the test center.

Due to Internet privacy laws, students younger than 13 years of age cannot register online. To register for the SAT, obtain an SAT Paper Registration Guide packet with registration form and return envelope from your local high school. Complete the form, and submit it with payment to the College Board.

If you are taking the SAT as part of a talent search program, you'll need to submit additional documentation along with your paper registration form.
