The crazy thing about this cancellation was that it was at the Marriott - not a local high school - and the College Board contracted with a vendor! https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/sat-testing-suddenly-canceled-oakland/3554549/

We had a hell of time trying to get my two kids in for the SAT. One was in the depths of Covid so I had a little more understanding of the challenges. But Kid No. 2 was in the past two years. Test centers were filled the day registration started, and when they did register, there were 3 cancellations by the school host - 2 just days before we were slated to travel to take them. Then when one of my kids had finally managed to take it the second time, the College Board proctor gave them the same test from the last administration - so it was never scored. It’s beyond frustrating.
