I have registered three SAT II exams but is it possible to cancel one test now?

October 30th, 2007 by Paul

Yes, but it is highly unlikely you will receive a refund.

You can cancel any SAT exam and they will not penalize you for it. It’s best not to register at all if you are not planning on taking the test, as it takes a spot from someone else.

FAQ: On the Secondary School Report There is Room for 8 Classes, What should I do when I have 13?

October 22nd, 2007 by Paul

In attempt to avoid repetitive questions and to empower knowledge to you. Let’s use this as a medium for that.

On the Secondary School Report There is Room for 8 Classes, What should I do when I have 13?

My recommendation: Fill it in as best you can, whether that be printing out little strips with smaller font and taping/gluing them on there or, by using commas to separate the classes.

They’ll have a complete list of classes via your transcript- so it’s not something to worry too much about.

SAT Test Center / Test Changes

October 16th, 2007 by Paul

Hey guys,

As much as I would like to have the control of the College Board, simply said I don’t.

The best way is to always contact the College Board Directly- as I do not have the power or authority over any of the stuff, except limited power ON test day.

So if you want to avoid this, check College Board Customer Service Center at +1-212-713-7789 or find the email address on their website and stop being lazy.
