New SAT® Online Registration Improves Experience

The College Board recently launched a new registration process aimed at improving the online experience for students signing up for SAT® and SAT Subject Test administrations. The new process features an intuitive, student-friendly design and the ability to choose and reserve a test center location in real time.
In a recent survey, students expressed concern about reserving their place at specific test centers. Because test center information was not updated in real time, students did not have the most current information on which to base their decisions.
To address these concerns, the College Board updated the system to provide real-time visibility into the availability of all test centers. “This new design helps modernize SAT registration,” said Laurence Bunin, senior vice president of the SAT Program. “We believe students will find the new process to be helpful, efficient and, dare we say, ‘cool.’”
If a test center is not available, the system will now display a reason for its closure. Also, students will be able to look up test centers by zip code and school name, and compare travel distances. A newly redesigned administration ticket will complete the process, making it easier for students to check in on test day.
