What time does the SAT registration deadline expire?

Your SAT registration deadline expires at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the scheduled cut-off date, no matter where in India you are registering from. Missing that exact time closes your window for that particular test date, so build in a buffer rather than registering at the last minute.

Upcoming SAT dates and their deadlines

Why the time zone matters for you

Since College Board runs its deadlines on Eastern Time, the cut-off can arrive earlier than you expect in Indian Standard Time. Convert the deadline to your local time as soon as you plan to register, so you are not caught out registering an hour too late.

My Advice

I would always register at least two to three days before the actual deadline, since Eastern Time cut-offs can trip up Indian applicants who convert the time wrong. Registering early also improves your chances of getting your preferred test centre.
