Special
Testing Circumstances
STANDBY
REGISTRATION (LATE TO REGISTER)
Have you
ever heard the phrase "flying standby?" Flying standby
means passengers can fly without making an advanced reservation
with an airline. Instead, they show up at the airport or the
gate and any available seats are assigned on a first-come,
first-serve basis. The passengers may make the intended flight,
or they may have to wait for the next one.
Standby
registration works much the same way. If you fail to register
before the final deadline, you may still be able to take the
SAT by "testing standby." If a test center has available
space, materials, and testing staff, students are admitted
in the order they arrive the morning of the test.
Students
who wish to test standby must arrive at the test center by
7:45 am. Because standby students are admitted on a first-come,
first-serve basis, plan to arrive early! You will need to
bring a completed registration form (available at your counselor's
office) with payment. Please note that there is an additional
fee for standby testing. For further information and fees,
visit College
Board.
SUNDAY TESTING (RELIGIOUS OBSERVATION)
The SAT
test is given on seven Saturdays each year. Students who cannot
attend a Saturday administration due to a religious observance
can request a Sunday administration.
You must
register by mail the first time you request a Sunday administration,
but future registrations can be completed online or by telephone.
You must also submit a letter from your clergy explaining
your inability to attend the Saturday administration. You
can read more about Sunday testing at College
Board.
REQUEST
FOR A TEST CENTER CLOSER TO HOME
Students
who live more than 75 miles from a test center can request
that the test be given closer to his or her home. By submitting
a letter of explanation with your mailed registration, the
College Board will review your location to determine if a
test center can be established closer to your residence. Learn
more about such requests at College
Board.
