Should I Take It?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the Jan. SAT, and was hoping to increase my scores, so I signed up for the June SAT. Right now, however, I don’t feel that I am prepared to get the score that I want. So I have a couple of questions:</p>

<li>Should I cancel and take it in October after studying more?</li>
<li>How do I cancel my SAT before the test date?</li>
<li>It says that I can change my SAT test date on collegeboard, but I’m not sure where to go…does anyone know?</li>
<li>Will colleges be able to see that I canceled the SAT; if so will they look at that poorly?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>You're not going to get your money back at this point; the test date is this Saturday. You might want to call the College Board and see whether you can apply the fee to another test date, though. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for the phone number: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/testday.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/testday.html&lt;/a> As for how you cancel the test, it's simple. You just don't show up. </p>

<p>Whether it makes sense for you to wait until October depends on 1) whether you plan to apply anywhere ED or EA, and 2) whether you need to take any SAT Subject Tests that you have not taken yet. You don't want to run out of test dates to take all the tests you need. If you're applying ED or EA, you may need to complete all of your testing by October or November. Will you still be able to do this if you don't take the June SAT? </p>

<p>In answer to #4, they won't know, and if they did know, they wouldn't care.</p>
