There is a process outlined for adult test takers who can prove they have a valid reason for taking the test (officer test, scholarship). Doesn’t seem that difficult to do. Of course if you had wanted to take it on March and May, you are out of luck.

I think most people know that even if you take the test, there is no guarantee that you’ll get your scores if the College Board suspects you cheated etc. There are no guarantees.

The test fairness and security policies state that they are designed to prevent any student from getting an unfair advantage. Given the College Board’s focus on leveling the playing field, it would make sense to limit tutors’ access to the test. There may even be provisions in the agreement with Kahn Academy requiring they limit prep companies’ access. Given the rampant cheating overseas, it makes sense to limit people willing to fly internationally to look at the test that will likely be administered overseas in May or at a later date.
I agree that the very late notice seems very sloppy but this is par for the course for College Board for at least the last year.
