I was wondering if the proctor will allow me to take my sat test because mypicture cuts half of my forehead off and my head is tilted to the side a little bit, the picture is crystal clear and you can tell that is me but I am afraid that because of the angle and cropped forehead, they will not allow it, my other should is not showing only one shoulder is but my face is showing with the exception of half of my forehead, please let me know of you think they will allow it, I know the sat rules say it cannot crop my forehead but I can’t change the picture now because it’s two days before my test and I emailed them but I’ll get a response after the test day and I will call tomorrow during hours but I think they’ll tell me that I cannot change it no matter what because I read a similar thread about someone that said they couldn’t change their photo because of bad lighting and it was past the deadline but the proctor ended up accepting their picture. I hope my proctor will be lenient too but I was wondering if you guys think they’ll accept it and if your proctor was harsh on your photo id
I’m sure it will be fine. there are plenty of bad photos on id’s.
But I’m not taking about the additional Photo ID that I have to bring with me I’m talking about the admission ticket that I give to the proctor, do you know if on their rubric they have my picture that I submitted?
Try calling them instead of emailing them. On the phone, the customer service rep might be able to allow you access to change your photo. My daughter had entered her nickname on her registration, instead of her legal name. We discovered this before the test, I called them and they changed it to her legal name. The rep was very nice. I’d explain you emailed them, but never heard back. It might be too late if you’re taking the Dec. test., but worst case scenario, you skip that test and take it in January.
Also, be prepared to wait on hold for a while…took me over an hour to get through. If you have special accommodations, make sure to call that number first. You can get through quicker to them for some reason. They may not be able to do the change, but they might be able to tell you if it’s a change that needs to be made at all. If they say you need to change the picture, at least you’ll know you that your time waiting on hold will be worth the hassle.
Are you sure you can’t just go online and change the photo? I think we did that.
Also if you are taking the essay portion, please know that run-on sentences are very hard to read. Punctuation is your friend.
Yes I am taking the essay portion thanks for the heads up! And yes I could’ve went online and changed it but apparently there’s a due date for when you can change the photo and I passed it:/ they didn’t even bother telling me there was a due date for when I can change my picture they just said that I can come back and change it whoever and I was planning on doing that when I got the right picture,but now I can’t
Thank you I will try calling today!
