When is the Digital SAT offered for international students in Saudi Arabia?

If you’re sitting in Riyadh dreaming of Harvard or chilling in Jeddah with Stanford on your mind, here’s good news: the Digital SAT now has an expanded schedule. For the 2024–2025 school year and beyond, the test is offered seven times a year internationally: March, May, June, August, October, November, and December. That’s plenty of opportunities to show off your skills.

Here’s the trick: don’t wait until the last minute. Seats at test centers in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran can disappear faster than tickets to a sold-out concert in Dubai. Register early and build your prep plan around these dates.

If you’re juggling IGCSEs, A-levels, IB assessments, or AP exams, aim for the spring of Year 11 or early Year 12. That timing helps you avoid academic traffic jams and still leaves room for a retake if needed. Pro tip: mark those dates in your calendar, set reminders, and treat the SAT like a can’t-miss event. Because, honestly, it is.
