When do 2027 SAT scores come out?
College Board has posted release dates for the three spring tests:
- March 6 test: Friday, March 19, 2027 (schools: March 22).
- May 1 test: Friday, May 14, 2027 (schools: May 17).
- June 5 test: Monday, June 21, 2027 (schools: June 21).
June takes 16 days instead of 13. Fall 2027 score dates are not posted yet. For the hour scores appear, see what time SAT scores are released.
What are the fall 2027 SAT dates?
College Board lists these "Anticipated SAT Weekend 2027-28 Test Dates" for fall 2027: August 28, September 18, October 9, November 6 and December 4. All five are Saturdays.
The October date carries an "Updated" label on College Board's page, and some older lists online still show October 2, 2027. Go by College Board's page, and check it again before you plan around a fall 2027 date.
College Board also lists anticipated spring 2028 dates of March 4, May 6 and June 3, 2028. It has not posted deadlines or fees for them yet.
Is there an SAT School Day in 2027?
Yes, at schools that offer it. SAT School Day is the SAT your school gives on a weekday, and College Board lists the spring 2027 window as March 1 to April 30, 2027.
You do not register yourself. College Board says students taking SAT School Day "do not need to register on their own. Schools or districts will handle the registration process." Ask your counselor whether your school takes part and which day it picked.
Which 2027 SAT date should you take?
Your grade and your college deadlines decide it. College Board's registering page says: "Most students take the SAT for the first time in the spring of their junior year and then again in the fall of their senior year."
| If you are... | A common plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A junior (class of 2028) | March 6 or May 1, 2027, then a fall 2027 retake | Matches College Board's common pattern and leaves a second spring date as backup |
| A junior who also wants a summer start | June 5, 2027, then August 28, 2027 (anticipated) | Two tests about 12 weeks apart |
| A senior applying this year | A fall 2026 date (Nov. 7 or Dec. 5) | Spring 2027 scores arrive in March 2027 or later, which may be after your deadlines |
This table is our planning advice, not a College Board rule, so check each college's deadline. Seniors can use our November 2026 SAT and December 2026 SAT guides.

How we built this page
Every date, deadline and quote comes from College Board pages fetched on October 13, 2026: the dates and deadlines page (including its anticipated 2027-28 list), the score release dates page, the test fees page, the registering page and the SAT structure page. We worked out weekdays and day counts ourselves. Where College Board has not posted something, such as fall 2027 deadlines and score dates, we say so instead of guessing. Facts about The Test Advantage's question banks and adaptive tests come from our database, read the same day. Verified 2026-10-13.
