Airplane delay --> missed January SAT!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>The title of the thread basically explains it all. Advice and help are desperately needed. Thank you.</p>

2

<p>Where did you have to fly to take the SAT?</p>

3

<p>sign up for april sat?</p>

4

<p>wow,, you had to take a plane to take SAT? where do you LIVE??</p>

5

<p>You have fly around the world just to take the SAT? Dude, chill out, the SAT isn't everything. I would assume you had to pay quite a lot.</p>

6

<p>Haha. Sorry, I wasn't specific enough because I was in a rush when I was posting the thread.</p>

<p>I missed a flight back to the U.S. on Friday, so I arrived on Saturday night instead.</p>

7

<p>OH!... You went on vacation...Where did you go?</p>

8

<p>I went to China for a week.</p>

9

<p>You can call and reschedule for $20. It says so on the CB site...</p>

10

<p>Do they give out the same test? I don't think so?</p>

11

<p>No, they do not give out the same test.</p>

12

<p>The January administration was my last chance. Would they reschedule a test soon? There are no more tests available until April, and by then I'll be hearing from colleges.</p>

13

<p>Don't they have Sunday testing?</p>

<p>Edit: But then again, it would be too late.</p>

14

<p>Exactly...</p>

15

<p>I don't think there's a third administration of the test. I only know of Saturday & Sunday testing. Sorry, I'm not of much help.</p>

<p>If your testing center is one of the schools listed on [url=<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/testday/center_closings_alert.html%5Dthis%5B/url"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/testday/center_closings_alert.html]this[/url&lt;/a&gt;], you might be in luck. Otherwise, I don't know.</p>

<p>Couldn't you have done standby SAT back in China? Unless they have a totally different policy over there...</p>

16

<p>Okay, not to be a nost nelly, but why one earth would you schedule a flight back the night before the SAT from China...I mean, um, this was a bad plan for a lot of reasons</p>

<p>There was probably a good reason, but you give a very good lesson, if you can avoid cutting it so close, then you should</p>

17

<p>Indeed, it was a close schedule. However, the plan was beyond my control, so I was not the one who determined the dates.</p>

<p>But I don't regret it. Having been invited by one of the world's most prestigious schools to participate in a cultural exchange, I wanted to get the most out of the trip and experience as much as possible.</p>

<p>Not much of a loss then....</p>
