Hey guys, do you know the procedure if I happen to be sick on the day of the SAT? Will I be able to reschedule without any penalties or will I have to register for a new test date?
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're concerned about being sick on your SAT test day. If you're unable to take the test due to illness, you can request a test date change. You'll need to contact the College Board as soon as possible following your original test date to explain your situation and request the change. Typically, there's a fee for rescheduling, but if you have a legitimate reason such as illness, they might waive the fee.
To avoid any misunderstandings, it's a good idea to have some documentation like a doctor's note about your illness. Remember to keep an eye on test center closures and any other updates on the College Board website, as they may also affect test administration. If a test center is closed, the College Board will usually notify the affected students and help them reschedule without additional fees. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!
