How do you cancel an SAT registration?

    You can cancel your SAT registration through your College Board account up to a few days before the test. Partial refunds are available if you cancel by the registration deadline.

    How to cancel

    Log into your College Board account, find your upcoming SAT registration, and select 'Cancel Registration.' College Board will confirm the cancellation and, if eligible, issue a partial refund.

    Refund rules

    Full or partial refunds are available if you cancel by the registration deadline. After that, you forfeit the registration fee but can still cancel to free up your seat.

    What this means for your prep

    Do not leave this answer as background knowledge. Connect it to a practice decision: what to drill, when to test, how to pace a module, or how to interpret a score report.

    • If the answer is about timing or format, test it in a timed module.
    • If the answer is about scoring, run your current numbers through the score calculator.
    • If the answer is about tools or calculator policy, practice the relevant Math question type immediately.

    What to do next

    1. Pick a target test date and count backward to create a weekly prep schedule.
    2. Leave room for at least one retake if your first score is below your college target.
    3. Use the final two weeks for timed modules and review, not brand-new content.

    Common mistakes

    • Choosing a test date too close to application deadlines.
    • Registering before checking school events, AP exams, or travel conflicts.
    • Waiting until the last week to practice Bluebook pacing.
