SAT Test Times
The SAT is administered in the morning of the designated test day across various international locations. The exact timing can vary slightly by country due to different time zones and local regulations, but typically, the examination begins early to accommodate the lengthy testing procedure, which spans several hours.
Typically, the exam begins around 8:15 - 8:30 AM and ends around 10:45 - 11:00 AM local time, and the exam is always given on a Saturday (with the exception of SAT School Days) to avoid school conflicts. Yes, this means that students in certain time zones will take the exam earlier than others.
We highly recommend students to arrive at their test centers well in advance to avoid any last-minute stress and get familiar with their testing environment.
