<p>hello everyone, can somebody explain me what happens during the test. what are the steps before sitting in front of his SAT booklet? for instance, after reading several college websites I wonder what are the usefulness of the codes provided in each website referring to SAT, TOEFL, ACT? and if they are used to send your scores to colleges where you apply, is it possible to send them after you take the test?
how does the SAT booklet look like? can someone show me a picture or something like that because I don't wanna be surprised at the test day?
how long are the break between each section?
when they say that you got to work on only one section at a time, is it true for all test center?
let's suppose that you work on two section at a time (it isn't what I've planned, don't worry :) we are just assuming) and the person who's supervising (I think there would be a supervisor, tell me more about that) catch you in red-handed. what are the consequences?
how long do College board take to send results? two weeks?
to conclude if someone has a good website or tools which help, don't vacillate ;)</p>
<p>thank you for having read and sorry if there are some misspellings.
don't hesitate to tell me if you find a big misspelling or something, your advice will surely be useful</p>
<p>Nobody wants to answer me, too bad
I’m sorry, few hours later I realized that I make a misspelling in the title (happenS). is it the reason for which I’ve no replies? I don’t know I’m sorry but please, answer!!! I’m very anxious about that. I would like more details</p>
<p>When you take a test you get a booklet with different sections and you are prohibited from opening any section until instructed to do so. You must do one section at a time and you can neither go forward to another section or back to a previous section to redo any answers. There are breaks between sections, exact time I do not know. If you violate the rules, such as trying to go back and redo a section you have already done, or keep filling in answers in a section after being told time is up, and you are caught by the proctor in the room, the proctor will report that to the College Board and your test will be cancelled. There is no other penalty and College Board does not report that you took the test to colleges.</p>
<p>All those codes for colleges and your high school are for use when you sign up for the test. The test application has you identify your high school by code and a section to list colleges by code to which you want the scores sent upon release. You can list up to four colleges for free and those will get scores upon release. You can go on-line and change that list up to a certain time after taking the test but before scores are released. You can choose not to list colleges and wait for score to come out to send to colleges. However, those will not be free and it is a fee per college. In other words, you must use or lose your free sends by designating colleges in the test application file before the scores come out.</p>
<p>If you designate colleges in your test application to receive scores, those will be electronically sent your score usually two days before they are released to you, making that the fastest form of delivery. If you are like many and must see the score first and then order it sent the same day you see it on-line, it will be electronically sent somewhere between a couple days and a week or even possibly up to two weeks from the time of your order. Why does it take so long? Because unlike when you list a college in your test application for which the send is all set up to be done as soon as score is released, those orders that come after scores are released have to be processed by human beings and the testing agency has a limited number of human beings, and tens of thousands order their scores sent right after scores are released and it takes time to get through and carry out all those orders.</p>
<p>People are not deterred by the spelling errors but rather the content of your questions. All of the questions you ask can be answered very quickly by a few Google searches. However, I will point out that CB offers 4 free score reports which you can use to send scores to schools of your choice before you take the actual test. Using these freebies means that you are blindly submitting scores to colleges (you can cancel them if you feel miserable after the test). To send more, you will always have to pay $10 per school per time submitted unless you have a waiver due to financial reasons. This can be done at anytime after you take the test. Furthermore, don’t ask about the consequences of cheating. It only implies that you are considering cheating on your test. Follow directions and do what you should be doing.</p>
<p>thank you both but don’t worry I’m not considering cheating, I was just curious about how things works because it’s so different in comparison with France (multiple choice questions don’t exist for example which is too bad because I think MCQs are the best way to evaluate the students in my point of view of course).
