Frequently asked questions

How often the SAT test center availability data is refresh?
The data is refreshed every 15 minutes. Look at the "Last Checked" column to see the date/time when it was last refreshed. The time is shown in EST.
Does the dashboard show complete list of available test centers?
No. Becuase complete set of availabilty data is not available to us, therefore the dashboard does not show all the available centers.
What is SAT center availability notification?
Instead of you checking the dashboard on this website or going to collge board website every 15 minutes to check if seats are available near your desired center, you can register on this website and we'll notify you either via email and/or text message. This notification will reflect the correct list of centers with available spots because it uses your registered zip code to search for centers within your desired distance.
Can you notify me as soon as SAT spot is available within desired distance of my zip code?
No. Since we don't have real time access to college board data, we can't notify as soon as SAT spot is available. However, Since our process checks for SAT spot availability every 15 minutes and if a space is available at that moment, we will email/text you.You should immediately visit college board website to register for the desired test center. As an example, if our process runs at 2:15pm and there are no seats available, your won't get notfied. Since our next run is at 2:30m, so if there were seats available lets say at 2:20pm, and all spots gets filled by the time our next process runs at 2:30pm, you won't get notified either. Therefore its important to keep checking collge board directly as well and not completely rely on this website. We are just trying to automate the process of checking college board at certain intervals instead of you checking it manually.
Why should I use this website when same information is available on college board as well?
You don't have to. However, if you are looking for SAT center availability and you have hard time finding it, and you checking 10 times in a day on college board website then this website might serve you better because we can check it 100 times in a day ( your could check only 10-20 times unless you have enough time to keep checking)
I want to get text messages but don't see the cell phone provider name in the list on sign up page?
Please email us using our contact page and tell us name of your cell phone provider. We'll add it to the list. In the meantime, you can always get notified via email.
How many upcoming SAT dates I can register to get notified?
Currently, you can register to be notified for next two upcoming SAT test dates.
