<p>Can someone explain standby testing?
I’d signed up for the regular SAT and forgot to change to the subject tests. What do I do?!</p>
<p>I can’t find the registration form online!</p>
<p>No panic.</p>
<p>The standby registration form isn’t online because you are supposed to go see your local test administrator in advance to get it and fill it out. But NOTE that you aren’t presenting as a “standby” – you are going as a registered test taker making a late change in test type.</p>
<p>Read this:</p>
<p>“If you miss the deadline for making a change, you can still try to make the change on the day of the test. Go early to the test center of your choice and explain the situation to the test supervisor. If space and materials are available, you will be admitted before standbys. You will be billed later for the change fee. If you fail to pay the change fee, your scores will not be released.”</p>

<p>Note, also, you can’t change to a language test with listening (they have to order equipment in advance).</p>
<p>I think you will be fine, but if it were me, I would go by and see the local test administrator this week to get his/her specific instructions and generally smooth the way. On test morning, it’s a madhouse, and everyone’s stressed out. Things might not work out if you wait until then.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
