A practical checklist

Before you choose a date.

A test day is one part of the plan. Leave enough time to prepare, receive your results, and make your next decision.

  1. Check current registration availability, deadlines, and test-center options directly with College Board.
  2. Compare expected score release dates with your application deadlines. Ask each college about its own score requirements.
  3. Take a diagnostic before setting your study schedule. Review the skills that need attention, not just the total.

Countdowns use UTC calendar days and include today if it is a listed test date. A date in this guide is not a reservation or a guarantee of availability.
