Is there a way to take the SAT if I skipped it in school?

So my high school life wasn't the best academically so I skipped as many not needed days as possible, one of them being the SAT day. Last year when I was looking for scholarships I noticed about half of the scholarships wanted an SAT score. Since I didn't take it I don't have a score to give them so I can't sign up for the scholarship.

How do I take the SAT after already graduating high school? #sat

Yes, you should definitely still take the SAT, even if you have already graduated from high school. If you don't have a strong academic background, you undoubtedly need to study for this exam. Take multiple practice tests and go over the answers that you miss.

YES! You can register for the SATs on this site: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat . Please study for at least a month before you do by following a Kaplan, Barron's, or Princeton Review book (You can buy them used for pretty cheap).


I, personally, was really bad at the Verbal section so I had to study pretty hard for that by doing lots of practice tests and reviewing flashcards every day. I also took the test three times since "<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">When colleges look at your SAT scores,</span> they will usually consider your composite score more strongly than the scores from individual sections.<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> " (</span>https://blog.prepscholar.com/which-sat-score-do-schools-use)


A typical study schedule might be as simple as an hour a day during the week, and a practice test or two on the weekend. Wish you the best of luck!

Rohan recommends the following next steps:

Register for the SATs at least a month out.
Buy an SAT prep book. Build a study schedule that encompasses 6 days a week of studying for a month, with at least 4 practice tests
Sleep well and make time to relax, especially the night before the test
Take the test and rock out!
After getting your scores back, apply for those scholarships and schools that you're interested in!
