Hey all, so turns out I might have a big conflict on my SAT test day. Does anyone know how to go about postponing it? Are there any penalties or fees I should be aware of if I decide to reschedule? Any advice would be super appreciated!
Sure, I can help guide you through the SAT reschedule process. First, log into your College Board account. Once you're in, find your SAT registration and click 'Change'. From there you will choose a new SAT test date.
As for your question about penalties or fees, keep in mind that there will indeed be a rescheduling fee. However, if you have a student fee waiver, it will cover one change fee. On the other hand, if you don't have a waiver, take note of the College Board's 'no-show' policy. If you simply don't show up to the exam and reapply for a new date afterward, you won't be refunded for the initial test date and will still have to pay for the new test date.
The earlier you make the determination that you need to reschedule, the better it will be for you in terms of being able to secure your preferred test center. Some test centers do fill up quite quickly, especially for more popular test dates.
Remember that while rescheduling is certainly an option, it's best to avoid missing your booked SAT test unless it's absolutely necessary. Each rescheduled test means less time you have before college application deadlines. Plan accordingly and good luck on your test prep!
