Hey guys, I registered for the SAT but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I need to cancel it. I wanted to know what the process was to get a refund? Are full refunds even possible or is it like only partial?
According to College Board, the organization that administers the SAT, refunds are available in certain situations but not all. Once you register for a specific test date, they do not offer a full refund if you can't take the test on that date. However, there are a few instances where you may be entitled to a partial refund:
- If you've ordered and paid for additional services such as the Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) or Student Answer Service (SAS) but cancel your registration, you'll get refunded for these auxiliary services.
- If your test center is closed (due to weather conditions, for example), or your test is cancelled for other reasons, you may be eligible for a refund.
To request a refund, it is advised to directly contact College Board's customer service. The approach may vary depending on the specific reason for refund.
In the future, before registering for an SAT, make sure to check your calendar to avoid conflicting schedules. It's also a good idea to keep a close eye on any updates from the College Board about test dates or any potential cancellations.
