Students borrowing a device from College Board must register and request it at least 30 days before test day. Always confirm availability and current policies on the official College Board dates page. Where an exact release is shown, it was also checked against the official SAT score-release page.

Choose a date you can prepare for

Work backward from applications and school commitments. A later date with consistent weekly practice can be more useful than an earlier date that forces rushed preparation.

Use checkpoints, not hourly promises

Plan diagnostic, targeted-practice, timed-module, and full-test checkpoints. No fixed number of study hours guarantees a point increase.
