Upcoming SAT Dates & Deadlines

Device Requirements

The SAT is administered using a secure testing application called Bluebook, which must be installed on a compatible digital device before test day. Students are required to bring their own approved laptop or tablet that meets technical specifications and is fully charged, as power outlets may not be available during the exam.

Before your test, you’ll need to install Bluebook on the device you plan to use. Between 1 to 5 days before the exam, you’ll complete a brief setup within the app. This step ensures your device meets all system requirements, downloads your test, and generates your admission ticket, which you’ll need to bring to the test center.
