<p>I'm taking some SATII tests this Saturday. If I don't feel good about how the tests go, I think I'll register for the November test. But the deadline for normal registration is this Thursday, meaning that I would have to register late. Do I have to pay extra or am I not guaranteed a place for late registration?</p>
<p>You have to pay extra, plus, I think it’s first-come-first-served (so if there are no available testing centers, tough luck).</p>
<p>Yes, both. More expensive and no guarantee of a slot.</p>
<p>dang, ok. well thanks for the info. What would you do in my situation? Just register to be safe? is there any sort of refund if I cancel?</p>
<p>No refund if you cancel. I really never heard that u are never guaranteed a spot–maybe call to check on that one, because you’re paying extra for a not guaranteed spot?. But I know in my own experience that the SAT officials opened up extra classrooms to help distribute students around.</p>
<p>and you can end up not in the place everyone else is taking it</p>
<p>get there EARLY!! like at 7 AM, and you will get a seat. Remember to fill out your forms in advance though, google how to do standby testing 
you’ll be fine! good luck!
and wish me luck too, SAT saturday :XXX!!!</p>
<p>There is no more standby testing for the SATs. That ended with the June test and ended because of the Great Neck North High School scandal discovered last year where a significant number of students were hiring others to take the exam. College Board adopted new security procedures as a result including eliminating standby testing. You must register and get a spot in advance to be able to take it. If you wait until after the time for regular registration you face some risk of not getting a spot.</p>
<p>No refund to cancel, but you can pay a small fee to change to a later test date.</p>
<p>Nothing to big, but you are still taking a risk after all their is no refund and you may not get to take it at a nearby test center, and their is an exra fee.</p>
