Thursday8

I'm taking some SATII tests this Saturday. If I don't feel good about how the tests go, I think I'll register for the November test. But the deadline for normal registration is this Thursday, meaning that I would have to register late. Do I have to pay extra or am I not guaranteed a place for late registration?

You have to pay extra, plus, I think it's first-come-first-served (so if there are no available testing centers, tough luck).

Yes, both. More expensive and no guarantee of a slot.

dang, ok. well thanks for the info. What would you do in my situation? Just register to be safe? is there any sort of refund if I cancel?

No refund if you cancel. I really never heard that u are never guaranteed a spot--maybe call to check on that one, because you're paying extra for a not guaranteed spot?. But I know in my own experience that the SAT officials opened up extra classrooms to help distribute students around.

and you can end up not in the place everyone else is taking it

get there EARLY!! like at 7 AM, and you will get a seat. Remember to fill out your forms in advance though, google how to do standby testing you'll be fine! good luck!
and wish me luck too, SAT saturday :XXX!!!

There is no more standby testing for the SATs. That ended with the June test and ended because of the Great Neck North High School scandal discovered last year where a significant number of students were hiring others to take the exam. College Board adopted new security procedures as a result including eliminating standby testing. You must register and get a spot in advance to be able to take it. If you wait until after the time for regular registration you face some risk of not getting a spot.

No refund to cancel, but you can pay a small fee to change to a later test date.

Nothing to big, but you are still taking a risk after all their is no refund and you may not get to take it at a nearby test center, and their is an exra fee.
