roycroftmom:

could contact the parents in Mongolia for advice on how to get the test administered better for them.

Parents in Mongolia are not running SAT tests, the only schools in Mongolia (and many other countries) that are sites for the SAT/ACT are typically international private schools.

There is not much demand for the SAT internationally, as most international college bound students are not looking to attend a college that uses the SAT in the admissions process.

Hopefully CB will continue to open/pay for additional test taking sites like they did in CA. I also expect counselors in other cities/states will want CB to take over that role in their area as well…because CB has the resources to do that, and many HSs don’t. I agree that more colleges should step up and be part of the solution regarding SAT/ACT test administration, especially the ones that are requiring the tests in admissions.

We do not know if this is the first of other such events now that the test relies on WiFi access.

There have been other sites that have had WIFI issues and had to cancel a test since it went digital.
