So, before they said on the collegeboard website that my test would be rescheduled to February 20th,so the colleges that I applied to said they would still accept the February 20th deadline and said to email them if I plan to take the February 20th makeup. So,I did.However,collegeboard just emailed me saying my SAT would be rescheduled for February 27,so will the colleges,who said they would accept the February 20th deadline still accept the February 27th one? I was thinking of maybe calling/emailing the colleges,but what do you guys think?
Yeah DEFINITELY call the colleges to provide them clarification of your situation
@purplepuffin okay,thanks a bunch!
I called college board and said the ticket should be updated automatically. Just click on print admission ticket and under special instructions it should say makeup.
I am really worried about the essay as I got 7 on the december test. What should I do if i can to improve that score? Any tips???
I (and a lot of people here on CC) use(d) this: https://gist.github.com/AMKohn/7d4971945e4ce0f9fc9e

Thx
Nervous! Good luck to everyone taking the test
January test-takers say that the CR curve was harsh. Do you think the Feb one is gonna be equally harsh? Anyone?
the cr curve in january was generous. @tm1party
-3=780; usually it’s 770 as in october, and in december it was 760
-4=760; usually it’s 750 as in october, and in december it was 740
Really? That’s a relief. So many people in the January thread complain about the curve, and that scared me a little. Thank you.
@purplepuffin hey, do we have to know and state the name of literary examples? would not stating them hurt the grade?
no they dont have time to check if the literary title is correct, actually one of my friends said that she had forgot the name of a book and completely just made up the title… plus they dont grade for accuracy they grade for style, grammar et cetera
oh ok
I heard the January test was a reused test from previous years. Do you think they’ll reuse another test for the makeup?
Does anybody know when the scores for this makeup date will be posted?
My test was rescheduled from January 23rd to Febuary 20th but my admission ticket is not updated… Does anyone else have the same problem?
@theashisreal From what I’ve heard, they’ve reused tests multiple times in the past 2 in an effort to focus more on the new SAT. Sadly, they’re smart enough to not use QAS so the likelihood of you having seen one of the questions in a previous test is close to 0.
Help. My updated admission ticket didn’t come in the mail as the email said it would. When I print the admission ticket from the college board web page it still gives Jan 23 as the test date. Should the date on the ticket read Feb 20?
