SAT test centres in the UK
With over 25 SAT test centres across the UK — from London to Aberdeen — finding somewhere to sit the digital SAT is straightforward. Use the directory below to find your nearest venue and register early; popular dates fill up months in advance.
Where can you take the SAT in the UK?
SAT test centres are spread across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with the densest cluster in London and the South East. Availability varies by test date — some centres host only specific SAT dates — so always check live availability on the College Board site before locking in a venue.
When you register, select "United Kingdom" and leave the city field blank to see every option; some centres are listed under inconsistent city names. Spaces in and around London fill up fastest, particularly 8–10 weeks before each test date, so book as soon as you've chosen a sitting.

How to book your SAT test in the UK
You can also watch our video guide, How to Register for the Digital SAT.
1. Create a College Board account
Visit the official College Board site to create your account.
2. Choose your location
Select 'International' and the United Kingdom. Pro tip: Leave the city field blank — College Board lists some Greater London centres (like Croydon) under separate cities, so a country-level search is the only way to see every available UK test centre.
3. Upload your photo
Ensure it meets the strict "headshot" requirements or your registration may be cancelled.
4. Check your tech
The SAT is now digital. Ensure you have the Bluebook™ app downloaded on your testing device at least five days before your SAT exam date. If you need to borrow a device from College Board, register at least 30 days before test day to request one.
