sat test location may be a detail you overlook when going through the process of preparation. and although it seems unimportant, it can actually make a big difference in your score. even if you know all of the material and feel well practiced, you could still get a low score if you become stressed out by your surroundings on test day. so analyze all of your test location options and make sure you are picking the best one for you. there\u2019s no reason why you should let this arbitrary factor lower your score.
\n <\/p>\n

where is the sat offered?<\/h2>\n

the test is offered seven times a year in the us and six times a year internationally. the college board can help you find the test centers<\/a> closest to you. you can also find these test centers when you register for the sat. make sure to stay updated on test center closings<\/a> and find out all of the makeup information.
\n <\/p>\n

how many sat testing sites are out there?<\/h2>\n

there are thousands of testing sites worldwide, but you\u2019ll be able to find higher numbers of testing sites in countries and states with higher populations. for example, california has around 450 sites, while south dakota has under 10.<\/p>\n

if test centers are limited around you, or if you have your heart set on one particular one, register for the sat early<\/strong>. test centers do fill up. <\/p>\n

where should you take the sat?<\/h2>\n

the more familiar the testing location, the better. you don\u2019t want to take the sat in a place where you feel uncomfortable. ideally, you would want to find a testing site in your town, a short drive away.<\/p>\n

when determining where you\u2019ll take the test, also consider which people you\u2019ll see at each location. do you want to take the sat amongst friends, acquaintances or strangers? this completely depends on your personality. will seeing people you know cheer you up? or will it stress you out<\/a>?
\n <\/p>\n

what if you don\u2019t live near a test site?<\/h2>\n

if you live fairly far away from every available test site, then you\u2019ll need to do some extra preparation before test day. get to sleep even earlier than you usually would before the sat. on test morning, pack a breakfast for the lengthy car ride. you\u2019ll want to be energized and ready for the test. also, make sure the car ride is as relaxing as possible so you don\u2019t start freaking out before you even enter the testing room. avoid too much loud music and talking.<\/p>\n

now that you\u2019ve learned about sat test locations, you might be curious about when exactly you\u2019ll have to arrive at these locations. check out my post<\/a> about when the sat starts.
\n <\/p>\n

what if you are really far away from an sat test site?<\/h2>\n

if you live more than 75 miles from the nearest test center, the college board might<\/em> open a new testing center for you. you can request that on their website<\/a>. but if you would like to do this, make sure to put in your request well in advance, and don’t count on it<\/u>. have a backup plan.
