My son is registered to take SAT Math 2 and Bio on June 4th but he just found out he has a 4 hour black belt test the night before. I pretty sure this will impact how he does on the SAT , but I can’t find any other dates on College Board for him to take the test, as yet. Changing his bb testing date isn’t possible.
- Will there be a test date in Sept or Oct 2016 that he could take the tests?
- Will the results for these dates be out in time for early action application/s?
- Will I have to pay the test registration fees again if the new dates are not out by June 4th?
- Should he just take the test and see how he does...can he retake if he doesn't do well?
Thanks so much for any advice!
There will be a test date in October or September. In the past these tests have always been usable for early applications. However, if the college board keeps taking 6 weeks to return scores instead of the 3 weeks it used to take, the scores would be coming out mid November. That might affect some schools who have an early action date of Nov 1. But they will probably be accommodating and if you send everything else they should be fine, as long as you choose that school as one of your score recipients for the SAT right away. I think you will have to pay for it again. If he has been studying he should take it in June since he can retake. If he hasn’t been studying it might be better to just go for it in the fall.
