I'm having second thoughts about my upcoming SAT date. Does anyone know if you can cancel your SAT registration and if so, how would I go about doing that? Are there any fees or penalties I should be aware of?
Absolutely, it's possible to cancel your SAT registration, and it's understandable to have second thoughts.
To cancel, log into your College Board account and select the 'Registration' tab, where you will find your upcoming test details. Look for the 'Cancel Registration' option. The cancellation process is straightforward; however, be mindful of the timing. If you cancel more than five days before test day, you can receive a partial refund. Unfortunately, if you cancel too close to the test date, or do not show up at all, you won't be refunded.
Even with a partial refund, there will be a cancellation fee deducted. These policies are put in place by the College Board and are subject to change, so it's best to check the latest details directly on their website. Additionally, consider your options fully – if you feel unprepared, you might reschedule for a future date rather than cancel entirely. This can sometimes be more cost-effective, and it gives you additional time to prepare for the test.
