How do I register?
The easiest way to register is online at collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/register/international. Taiwan has limited testing sites and seats fill up fast so make sure you register months in advance.
When should I take the SAT? How many times should I test?
We recommend that you take the SAT once or twice during the spring semester of your junior year. If you're not satisfied with your score, take it one last time fall semester of your senior year. While schools will allow you to choose which score you send, it's best to avoid burnout and not take the SAT too many times.
