<p>If so, how would you do it? ANyone know where the SATs are being held?</p>

<p>I was told by someone that there may be some kind of standby/same day option - but with a horrendous fee. I clicked the link for standby testing at the SAT site and it is not returning. I wonder why :)</p>

<p>It finally came back. Darn. Looks like this poor planner just missed the opp. It looks like I could have done this, but I needed to get a form from the school - SAT is bad here. They are giving an option for someone to do this last minute thing, but screwed up by having a paper form from the HS counselor. I even had met with her today. THis is why they made the internet. download the form NOW and dont deal with paper from the HS.

Standby Registration
If you are unable to register in time, standby testing may be available for an additional fee.</p>

<p>Note: Seating capacity for standbys is limited. Be sure to arrive at the center early.</p>

<p>To register for standby testing, follow these steps:</p>

<p>Before test day, pick up a registration form at your school office and fill it out. Bring the completed

<p>It is not possible.</p>

<p>Tough luck OP.</p>

<p>I found that it is possible. Just walk in it says in another spot in the SAT site. If there are enough materials and staff you can do it, it says. It does not say anything about a form from the HS at this spot. </p>

<p>Please specify if your statement is grounded in knowledge or opinion.</p>

<p>Why are you telling this to us then?</p>

<p>I am trying to ‘discover’ stuff of which I know nothing and making the appropriate notes as I am going along - for myself or for anyone else who might find themselves in this predicament. First I tried the SAT website for info. But when it just hung there, I went over to this forum to find more info. Maybe there was SOMEone in the WWW of CC who actually did standby recently and could adivse accordingly.</p>

<p>It looks like the SAT website did not give the full story here either since all it says as far as cost is ‘significant’. Now that’s funny. How about my first born son? oh, just take him. They’ll probably say with a smile ‘how much do you want to take the test?’ :)</p>

<p>So they might have the staff and materials - they probably will since this is the MW and most people do not do the SAT here - one reason we were not plugged into the reg windows - but they might lower a $10,000 cost on us. I’ll probably report back the outcome for info.</p>

<p>Here is another question to this community:</p>

<p>How long does it take to view the scores? I was told today by a college that there is enough time for a college to get the 10-9 scores in time for 11-1 early action deadline. However, for this to happen would we have to indicate ‘send directly to college X’ on the form? Or wd there be enuf time for us to first get the scores and then send them if they look ok?</p>

<p>Son seems to have plateaued on ACT so that was one reason we thought to try SAT.</p>

<p>Probably possible. My friend took the ACT without a prior registration in September.
But the scores will be out very late.</p>

<p>Probably their policies are similar.</p>

<p>So I can go without reg.form?</p>

<p>In my country only 20-30 students take this test.</p>

9

<p>Who cares how many people take it in your country.</p>

10

<p>Yes it is. The others are ■■■■■■■. Walk-in testing. Pay extra fee but u take test if there are spots</p>

11

<p>Nice three month old bump.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The reason he cares about how many people take the SAT are because it’s an atypical testing center where most likely whoever signs up will be taking the test that day unlike in the U.S. where I’d say on average at least 5% miss the test for a variety of reasons.</p>

<p>I would definitely show up to the testing center on the test day. My reasoning behind this is College Board probably gave the testing center a few extra tests incase of water damage or anything of that nature.</p>

13

<p>Again, can I go without such form?</p>

14

<p>

Who cares that for you 3+6=12?</p>
