Short answer: no. College Board lists no July SAT date. The last spring date is June 5, 2027 (register by May 21). The next anticipated date is August 28, 2027, the first of the fall 2027 dates.
Dates around the summer
| Date | Status |
|---|---|
| June 5, 2027 | Confirmed (register by May 21) |
| August 28, 2027 | Anticipated |
| September 18, 2027 | Anticipated |
| October 9, 2027 | Anticipated (updated date) |
College Board calls the 2027 to 2028 dates “anticipated,” so check again before you plan around them.
Use the summer to prepare instead
With no July date, summer is prep time. If you finish school in June, you have about 10 weeks before August 28. That is enough to take a baseline test, fix your weakest skills and take two or three full practice tests.
