<p>I know, I sound very stupid for this but
My SAT is on October 6 (2 days away)
AND I just realized my name on my passport does not match the name on the admission ticket
My name on the passport: Khaled H. AlRayes
My Name on the admission ticket: Khalid H. Al-Rayes
Will the test center staff not let me in over the "-"?</p>
<p>I would go on the collegeboard website and check to see if it is not too late to change it. I would assume that after the cheating incident, they have installed stricter regulations. Standby testing is always an option though.</p>
<p>You can change your name but its not a simple process and it’ll take more than two days. You can just explain to the proctor I mean its just an “i”</p>
<p>I can’t… the deadline for changes is September 24… the thing is I thought it was right and i was in a hurry when registering</p>
<p>But it’s rather weird that you misspelt your name regardless of whether you were in a hurry. IT’S YOUR NAME!</p>
<p>It is… though my name is spelled two ways (there are people named Khalid and people named Khaled) my name is officially Khaled, but I got used to saying Khalid 'cause that’s how my teachers, my family, my friends kept writing it since I was in first grade</p>
<p>Just tell them that it’s the same name, just with a slightly different transliteration from Arabic. That is, if they ask you anything, which they probably won’t.</p>
<p>Hey, if luck is on your side, the proctor won’t even notice.</p>
<p>Very True!</p>
