<p>I am planning on taking the SAT in 20 days and I am confused how to sign up because I recently went through a name change.
So basically my preferred name is Anna but when I was born my dad spelt my name Ana so on legal documents such as my birth certificate and my driver's license, it's spelt Ana.
But in school, my transcript and my student ID is spelt Anna. And when I took an AP exam, my score report was Anna.
So how should I sign up for the SAT? As Anna or Ana? I just went to court to get my name fixed like a two weeks ago but it always takes a while to process.
THANK YOU!!!!</p>
<p>Your dad never “screwed up.” That is extremely rude. He liked the name Ana. If you like Anna more, that is your choice, not his fault.</p>
<p>You should be talking to your college councilor rather than entrusting strangers on college confidential with such a significant potential problem.</p>
<p>Misspellings on birth documents are amazingly common. The parents are too tired to notice what the hospital writes down, and until the new federal ID rules, many people could live without correcting anything. The just used whatever name they felt like.</p>
<p>If you have multiple versions of your name on your records, a simple note attached to your college apps us enough to help the ad coms find all of the bits and pieces. Don’t worry about this.</p>
<p>I do not know for sure if this is a ■■■■■ post but it has those indications. This is the OP’s first post under the user name used for this post. On the SAT board, someone with a different user name but also making her first post, has made the same post including that she applied for a name change two weeks ago but the name there is Camile versus Camille.</p>
