$21 Test change fee
ok... so i registered BIO and MATH IIC test.
But i wasn't ready for BIO... so i took CHEM instead.
I knew I had to pay extra $21 for changing the test..
so after all the tests, i went to the proctor and talked to her that I changed the test... i didn't say anything about the extra money that i had to pay.
But then she was like "oh, that's fine. It doesn't matter." Like this... and sent me home.
so basically.. i didn't pay at the end!
Maybe she didn't know that i had to pay... or she has been doing for a long time...

But the question is......is it going to affect my test?
what if collegeboard cancel my test because i didn't pay my fee???
what should i do? call them and pay???
I'm so worried... because according to the CHEM thread, i think i did pretty good on that test...
ANY ADVICE????

Someone asked a similar question today before the test, and the protor told us not to worry about the money for now. Collegeboard will send a mail to you, requesting you to pay your required amout of fee in a few weeks.

Your test scores shouldn't be delayed or anything. ^ ^ So don't worry.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay to switch subject tests (as long as you don't take more than you originally signed up for)

Actually, if you only changed one of your subject tests to a different subject, you shouldn't need to pay at all. Your proctor probably knew that so she didn't say anything.

oh really??? that's something that i haven't heard about...
but a week before the test, I called the Collegeboard to change the test, and they said don't worry and just change it when you get to the test center.
So I was like "ok....". and they mentioned that i need to pay a fee of $21.

and i know one of my friends who changed the test (lit to ush) by phoning, and she paid $21..

i hope i don't have to pay anything
i just have to sit and wait now...

Knowing Collegeboard, they're probably just trying to milk every last penny out of unsuspecting high school students, so don't worry about it.

Well, I called the Collegeboard on Friday and asked about the changing policy and if I could change it and she told me that I could change it on Saturday without paying anything

You don't have to notify College Board that you took a different SAT II. It happens all the time. And you don't have to pay for the pleasure.

The $21 fee is if you sign up for SAT II and decide to take SAT I or vice versa.
