<p>I am waitlisted for the SAT, and I was told that I may not be able to take the test if there are not extra copies of the test at my location. </p>
<p>Does collegeboard send extra tests to locations? How can I make sure I get a copy of the test?</p>
<p>It depends on your location, and what happens that day. Schools are limited by a couple factors:</p>
<ol>
<li>how many tests they have</li>
<li>how many seats are available in a classroom.</li>
</ol>
<p>If a few people opt not to show up (which they might) you will be more likely to get in.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, there are test locations that are more popular than others. This is my assumption – at a school that is known for its academics, you will be less likely to get in because there will be more students on the waitlist, and fewer students who don’t show up.</p>
<p>If you are waitlisted at a location where test-taking isn’t as popular, you will be more likely to get in.</p>
