SAT Test Dates 2026-27 in Pakistan: Every Date, Registration Deadlines and the US$111 Fee

The SAT test dates for 2026-27 for students in Pakistan still open for registration are 5 December 2026, 6 March 2027, 1 May 2027 and 5 June 2027. The October sitting is over and registration for 7 November has closed. The registration deadline for 5 December is 20 November 2026. The fee for a student testing outside the US is US$111: the US$68 registration fee plus a US$43 international fee.

We read the College Board's SAT dates and deadlines page and its international fees page on 1 November 2026. The same dates apply in the US and abroad. For Pakistani applicants, the dates that matter most are December and March, because LUMS wants the SAT taken by 6 March 2027 and Habib University gives exemptions on recent scores.

Six SAT dates run from October 2026 to June 2027

The College Board lists six SAT dates for 2026-27: 3 October 2026, which has passed, and 7 November 2026, whose registration has closed, then 5 December 2026, 6 March 2027, 1 May 2027 and 5 June 2027. Each has a registration deadline about two weeks before, and a late deadline four days after that.

Registration for 7 November closed on 27 October, so the next open sitting is 5 December. There is no SAT in January or February 2027. A student who misses December waits until March.

The SAT costs US$111 for a student in Pakistan

The College Board charges US$68 to register plus a US$43 international fee for testing outside the US, so US$111 in total. Late registration adds US$38. Changing only the test centre costs US$34. A US$24 test centre fee applies only at listed centres in East Asia, not in Pakistan.

Late registration is the fee most people pay by accident. Registering for 5 December on 22 November instead of 20 November raises the bill from US$111 to US$149, by our arithmetic. Two days cost US$38.

The first four SAT score reports are free within nine days

You can send scores to four universities free if you order within nine days of the test date. After that, each extra report costs US$15. Rush reports cost US$31, archived scores US$35 and score verification US$55.

Choose your four universities before test day. Adding a fifth and sixth university later costs US$30 for the pair, by our arithmetic. If you are aiming at US universities, the SEVIS I-901 fee for the F-1 visa comes later, after admission.

LUMS needs the SAT by 6 March 2027, and Habib gives exemptions from 1400

LUMS lists 6 March 2027 as the last date to take the SAT for Fall 2027 undergraduate admission. Habib University gives a partial entrance test exemption for an overall SAT of 1400 or more, no older than two years, sent with code 7344.

That makes 5 December 2026 the safest sitting for a LUMS applicant: it leaves 6 March open for a retake. Students from A Levels comparing local and foreign options can weigh the university routes for A Level students in Pakistan.

How to register for the SAT from Pakistan

Create a College Board account, choose a date and a test centre, and pay US$111 online before the registration deadline. The SAT is digital and taken in the Bluebook app. Students who need to borrow a device from the College Board must register at least 30 days before test day.

1. Create a free College Board account with your name exactly as on your passport.
2. Pick a test date, ideally 5 December 2026 or 6 March 2027.
3. Search for a test centre in your city and select it.
4. Pay US$111 before the registration deadline to avoid the US$38 late fee.
5. Install the Bluebook app on your laptop and complete the practice check.
6. Choose your four free score recipients within nine days of the test.

If you are also taking an English test for study abroad, compare the TOEFL fee in Pakistan and the IELTS fee in Pakistan before you book both in the same month.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

We read the College Board's SAT dates and deadlines, its international fees page and its refunds page on 1 November 2026, along with the LUMS critical dates and Habib University exemption pages. The US$111, US$149 and US$30 totals are our arithmetic. We could not open the score release dates page, so we do not give score dates.
