<p>I'm pretty new to CC and I was wondering if anyone has ever taken the ACT standby? I am going to try to take the September 12th test as a standby... but has anyone here experienced a situation where they weren't allowed to test because of a lack of seats? I'm just worried that I'm going to drive an hour to the testing center to be turned away. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Does anyone here have experience with testing standby? I too want to try for the September 12th test date and I have the same concerns.</p>
<p>I’m glad that I’m not the only one here worried about it! </p>
<p>Anyone? If anyone has every done this… I would greatly appreciate any feedback 
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My friend took it standby once. She said she just asked very nicely if there were a seat for her, and she even offered to sit at a lab table or something. They eventually found a seat for her.</p>
<p>That’s good to hear… I’m pretty sure that I’ll be ok. I think I’m going to take it at a community college, so there should be plenty of room.</p>
<p>Go to the ACT website and look at the locations nearest you. Try to guess which location is the least desirable or is a large venue, thus increasing your chances of getting a seat.
Get there at least 1 hour- 45 minutes early so you will be number 1 on the wait list. Identify yourself as needing a standby seat. Be very polite and hang around the registration table so they don’t have to search for you.</p>
<p>Batllo have you tested as a standby before? You seem to know a lot about it</p>
<p>Plenty of friends who procrastinate.</p>
<p>Haha… I’m guilty of that as well… actually just a last minute decision… I’m worried about the timing of the October SAT for Pitt’s first group of scholarship reviews.</p>
<p>Is it true that if you bring a ticket for a future date and do a change of date rather than a regular standby you have a better chance of getting a seat?</p>
