<p>I missed the deadline for SAT subject testing. I am currently at end of my junior year. Will it hurt to wait until the next anticipated testing date of Oct 2012 or should I try standby? I do plan on applying to Ivies.</p>
<p>If the question is whether Oct tests will be considered timely, then the answer is as follows: (a) Oct tests are good for early decision and early action, and many colleges, such all the ivies, accept Nov tests for that purpose; (b) for regular admission you can take tests as late as Dec and for many, such as all the ivies, as late as Jan.</p>
<p>In any event, if you are in fact ready to take the tests now you might try standby rather than waiting until Oct when you will have to relearn anything you forget between now and then.</p>
<p>Thank you for the response.</p>
