Hello,
I’m an international junior who’s going to take 2-3 subject tests later this year (actually next year (2017)). It’s also worth mentioning that I live in a country where the SAT is not offered, so I’ll have to travel abroad in order to take the tests. Meaning, I can take them ONLY once. It is critical that I receive my test scores by the EA deadline for most schools, e.i. November 1 next year.
I will be self-studying for the tests, and the fact that we have (at best) covered only half of the material tested on each test at school does not help. Our education system offers a fixed curriculum only, so I couldn’t choose courses that would cover the material that will be tested
on SAT II’s.
Now, I’m trying to fit the prep work for these tests into my already tight schedule, so I need to pick a test date and stick to it. So here’s what could happen:
Best case scenario: I will be able to finish my test prep and take (and ace) the tests on the May 2017 test date.
Worst case scenario: I will have to wait till October 2017 to take the tests, because all other test dates are overlapping with my school finals.
However, when I check the College Board website, I see an “anticipated” international August test date available for 2018 and 2019, but not 2017. Could college board possibly add an August date for 2017, too? Because that would be the BEST date I could possibly ask for!
Here it is:

If not, I would like to know whether I will receive my test scores for EA deadlines FOR SURE if I take the October test. I don’t want to risk my chances of admission merely due to a late test score arrival.
