<p>does anybody have any experience with standby testing?</p>
<p>also, i didn't have an ACT ID, as a standby, and i also didn't report my Social security number on either form as i did not know it. Are they still going to be able to match my test to my identity?</p>
<p>i tested as a standby tester for the september test. i received my score approximately two weeks after everyone else.</p>
<p>@feez- so like... a month from now?</p>
<p>I tested standby too. The proctor told me it would take 7 weeks, with writing. I don't know about without.</p>
<p>damn, so basically we'll be taking the Dec. test around the time we get these scores back? It's gonna seem distant :P</p>
<p>Yeah. I think I'm going to register for December anyway, then just not take it if I do well enough. I wonder if it's possible to get some of the registration money back if you don't take it.</p>
<p>How about if I was registered, but I wasn't able to input all of the information on the answer sheet (forgot my admissions ticket). I was able to input my match name (first 5 letters of my last name) and my birth date, but not my match code. The test center supervisor told me not to worry about it - but I'm wondering how long it'll be delayed. Surely it can't be difficult for them to compare my info and get the match code?</p>
<p>yea i'll definitely register early this time. acutally, come to think of it, i still haven't used my free voucher from my school. either way it won't cost me anything.. lol.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't have a clue. You could probably find out by calling ACT.</p>
<p>7 weeks is the maximum delay in the range ACT gives (for everyone, not just standby testers). I doubt any of yours will take that long. </p>
<p>ELorax, if you put your SSN on both your documents, your scores might not be delayed at all; I'd guess your multiple choice scores may take about a week extra.</p>
<p>Tyler09, not giving your SSN will probably delay your scores at least another week, maybe more. But yes, they'll be able to match them.</p>
<p>walt99, your scores will likely be delayed a week or more, also.</p>
<p>Also, ELorax, you can get your $15 back for the writing test if you don't take it, but not the rest of it.</p>
<p>Thanks, Mrs. F! </p>
<p>I didn't put my SSN down. I never do. I don't like having that piece of information out there. Unless I'm required to, I probably won't put it down on my college apps either.</p>
<p>if you tested as standby but did put your ssn?</p>
<p>I just called them and they said that the lack of SS# will NOT have any more effect on score delay then simply being a standby, for which scores usually come back a week or two after normal</p>
