MARCH SAT - Bad Weather?

<p>I understand that the SAT occasionally gets postponed due to bad weather. There is some major weather predicted in NE for tomorrow.</p>

<p>Who has actually had their test postponed?</p>

<p>How is this possible with respect to each test being kept secret? How can they issue is again at a later date?</p>

<p>Any rule of thumb for when the makeup date would be scheduled?</p>

<p>How far in advance will be know? Tomorrow AM, this afternoon?</p>

<p>Any other pointer?</p>

<p>SAT</a> Test Center Closings</p>

<p>Keep an eye on this page.</p>

<p>My local news station is also running SAT test center closings.</p>

<p>my question is.. how are they going to curve those postponed tests? and if we have the same tests... wouldn't it be unfair, since they'll know our questions?</p>

<p>I'm going to answer some of my own questions, so that others with this problem in the future have something in the archives.</p>

<p>Don't bother calling CB. They are very nice but cannot provide any help.</p>

<p>What went on yesterday is we monitored the link above. Some cancelations were on the list beginning about 4:10PM, the next update w/ more schools was 6:50, and the final update was at 9:30. By the 6:50 update, some of the schools listed at 4:10 had the makeup date posted and I would guess that that same date will be for all affected. It was for 2 weeks from now, March 15.</p>

<p>Something else I found out during the day (by calling the HS sponsor), there was a line dedicated to SAT exams. It was being updated at 6:30 last night saying the test was still scheduled and that should this change, the message will be updated. It was updated once again this AM at 6:00, confirming the test.</p>

<p>It is now 6:10 the morning of, barely any snow fell. Fortunately our center did not cancel and we will be able to get this over with and allow life to move on.</p>

<p>As for the test in two weeks, as I think about it, I am guessing that this has to be a test unique unto itself. I don't see how they can release a test that would have been public for two weeks but it would be nice if someone who actually knows posts something.</p>

<p>Several in Connecticut have canceled. Listen to the snow school schedule on WEBE 108.</p>

<p>I have the same question as blubberxyz:</p>

<p>Do the kids that take the postponed test take a different test?
Because CC already has a lot of the answers to questios posted already...</p>

<p>The collegeboard has a pool of questions, each of them with difficulty statistics. They could make a makeup exam from the question bank and determine the curve just as they do with the regular tests easily. CB never put out entire exams in the experimental section, anyway. </p>

<p>For those of you that missed it: you'll get a make up test, and it will have a curve propotional to the difficulty of the test. Don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Yea, each test is different, so that there can be not cheating.</p>
