Do new test centers open up within the period to register for the SAT? I’m trying to take register for the August one, and the closest center is in another state. My GC said it’s possible but does anyone know if it has happened before? They have been full since I first tried registering (on the 16th).
August is a new test schedule for SAT. As many schools are closed in summer, it is expected to have less test centers available for that date. My friend did drive more than an hour to bring her daughter and another friend to a test center a few counties away. For international students, I also know someone cross a border to take SAT in a neighboring country. If the test center is really hours away, you may want to go their the night before and stay in a hotel nearby.
This post is actually a very good reminder for anyone considering taking SAT or SAT2 in August. I just checked half of the test center within driving distance in my area are full already.
