I'm a little stressed about something. Is it possible to change the date of my SAT after I've registered for it? If so, what are the procedures and deadlines involved? Thanks!
Yes, you can change the date of your SAT after registration. To do this, you will need to follow the College Board's rescheduling process. Here are the steps and deadlines involved:
1. Log in to your College Board account and go to the "My SAT" section, where you can find your registered test dates.
2. Locate the test you wish to reschedule and select the "Change Registration" option. This will guide you through the process of changing the test date.
3. You will need to choose an available test date from the options provided. Keep in mind that test dates can fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to register for your desired date as soon as possible.
4. Pay the required change fee. Currently, there is a $29 fee for changing your test date. This is in addition to any difference in test fees between the original and new test dates. If the new test date is less expensive than the original date, you won't be refunded the difference.
5. Complete the rescheduling process by following the prompts on the College Board website.
Please remember that the deadline to change your SAT test date is the same as the late registration deadline for the new test date, generally about two to three weeks before the test. It's crucial to check the specific deadline for the test date you're considering, as deadlines can vary. If you miss this deadline, you won't be able to reschedule and will have to register for a new test date, which entails paying the full registration fee again.
It's worth mentioning that fee waivers are available for qualified students, which can help cover the change fee. If you're eligible for a fee waiver, make sure to request one from your school counselor.
Good luck with your SAT preparation, and I hope this information helps alleviate some of your stress.
