Hello! I'm considering moving my SAT test date to a different session due to some personal reasons. What's the process to change it, and is there any penalty for doing so? Appreciate any help!
Hello! Changing your SAT test date is definitely an option if you need to accommodate personal reasons. The process for changing your test date is quite straightforward. You can do this by logging into your College Board account, and from there, navigate to your registered SAT exam. You should see an option to "Change Registration." Click on that, and you'll be able to select a new test date and testing center.
Keep in mind that there is a fee associated with changing your SAT test date. The current fee for changing your test date is $25. If you need to change your test date and it's more than five days before the initial test, then you can change it without any issue. However, within five days of the test, you'll need to go through the process of requesting a test date change exception. This is usually granted only for emergencies or extenuating circumstances, and you may need to provide documentation to support your request.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your SAT preparations, and I hope you find a test date that works better for you.
