Registration FAQs
Can I pay for SAT registration in Nigerian Naira directly on College Board?
The College Board charges in USD ($111 total: $68 standard + $43 international regional fee). To pay from Nigeria, use a domiciliary Visa/Mastercard debit card, an authorized virtual dollar card, or contact an accredited testing agency.

No. The College Board explicitly requires a valid, unexpired Nigerian International Passport as the only acceptable form of photo identification for Nigerian test-takers.

We recommend registering 6 to 8 weeks before your desired test date. High-demand centres in Lagos (Lekki British, Grange School, AISL) and Abuja (AISA, Regent) fill to capacity quickly.
