You can correct your personal information by marking corrections on this form and mailing it to the address listed on the form at least two weeks before test day. If there isn’t enough time to mail it, bring it to the test center and give it to the supervisor. The corrected information will appear on your score report. Note: Be sure to keep your Admission Ticket even if you are changing the information since you will not receive another ticket. Testing Without an Admission Ticket Report to the test center with proper photo identification. You can take the test if the supervisor has a record of your registration. If the supervisor has not been notifi ed, you may be able to test as a standby if space, materials, and staff are available. • If you are able to test as a standby and can verify afterward that you were registered, you may request a refund for any additional fees paid.
• If you were not able to test and can verify afterward that you were registered, you may request a free transfer to another test date or a full refund. Changing Test, Test Center, or Test Date You can change your test, test center, or test date by phone by calling Customer Service (see page 2). Note: It is not necessary to call to change Subject Tests (except for Language Tests with Listening). To change your registration, we must receive your request by phone. Note the following: • You must call no later than the Wednesday 21 /2 weeks before the test date. • The fee for the change is $20, plus additional test fees that may apply if you are changing tests. • A credit card is required. Making Late Changes If you need to change the test or test center, but it is too late to change by phone, you can still try to take the tests (except Language Tests with Listening) by going to the test center early on test day. Bring your Admission Ticket and other required materials. If space and test materials are available, you will be admitted ahead of standby students. Note: Test center changes are not permitted on test day in Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, or Togo. Absence on Test Day If you were absent from a test for which you registered and want to test on another date, call Customer Service to transfer to a later date. The $20 fee will apply. Test Day When to Arrive and What to Bring Testing starts about 8:15 a.m. Report to the test center by 7:45 a.m. unless otherwise indicated on your Admission Ticket. Bring the following: • Admission Ticket • acceptable photo identifi cation • two number 2 (soft-lead) pencils and an eraser. Note: DO NOT USE PEN. Essays written in pen will scan as blank and receive scores of zero. • acceptable calculator (for the SAT or the Mathematics Subject Tests) • acceptable CD player with earphones (for the Language Tests with Listening ONLY) You are responsible for bringing equipment in good working order. Test center staff will not have extra batteries, calculators, CD players, or earphones. You will not be able to share equipment with another test-taker. You may also bring: • a watch (without an audible alarm) • a bag or backpack (to be kept under your seat) • a snack and drink (to be stored out of sight in your backpack or a paper bag). Snacks may only be consumed in the hall during breaks, never in the test room. Remember: You are not allowed to bring anything else into the room. See page 4 for items not allowed in the test room. Acceptable Photo Identifi cation Acceptable photo identifi cation (government- or school-issued) in English is required for admission to the test center and will also be checked during the test. Your identifi cation must include a recognizable photo and your name. Examples are: • driver’s license • government- or state-issued ID • school identifi cation card • valid passport (required in some areas: see below) • Student ID Form: Your school can prepare an ID form. This form must include a recognizable photo, and the school seal must overlap the photo. Sign the ID form in the presence of your counselor or principal. This form must be dated and is good for only one year. • Talent Identifi cation Program ID/Authorization to Test Form (grades 7 and 8 only); photo not required Home-schooled students who do not have acceptable photo ID should go to their authorized Home School Association or local school district to obtain a Student ID Form on appropriate letterhead. Important: If you are testing in Ghana, India, Nigeria, or Pakistan, only a valid passport will be accepted as ID. A valid passport contains your signature and a current, recognizable photo. No other form of ID will be accepted. Calculators For the SAT, a scientifi c or graphing calculator is recommended, although every question on the math section of the SAT can be solved without a calculator. You may not use a calculator during the critical reading or writing sections of the test. For SAT Subject Tests in Mathematics Level 1 and 2, a scientific or graphing calculator is required and a graphing calculator is recommended. The tests are developed with the expectation that most students are using graphing calculators. Remember: You are NOT allowed to use the following: • minicomputer • electronic writing pad or pen-input/stylus-driven device • pocket organizer • mobile phone calculator • calculator that has a QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypad, uses an electrical outlet, makes noise, or has a paper tape CD players If you are taking a listening test, you will need to bring a CD player. Your CD player must be equipped with earphones, be portable (handheld), and be battery-operated. Note: You are not allowed to use a CD player with recording or duplicating capabilities. Equipment Malfunction If your calculator or CD player malfunctions before or during the test, raise your hand and tell the test supervisor, then switch to backup equipment (if you have it) and continue to test. Calculators: If you don’t have a backup calculator, you can choose to continue taking the test without a calculator, or you can cancel your score. If you are taking the SAT, you will have to cancel your entire test score; you cannot cancel just the math section. If you are taking a Mathematics Subject Test and your calculator malfunctions, you can cancel your scores, but still have other Subject Tests that you have taken in the same administration scored. CD Players: If you don’t have a backup CD player, you can cancel your listening test score, but still have the other Subject Tests that you have taken in the same administration scored. Make Up Testing If your center is unable to open on test day, a make-up test may be scheduled. The following policies apply to make-up testing: • Only registered students can take a make-up test. Students who have already tested during the same administration may not use a make-up administration to retest or to take a different type of SAT. • Students may only test at the center for which they are registered. • Students must take the entire SAT or Subject Test at a make-up administration. Students may not take partial tests or specifi c sections of a test. • Sunday testing is offered for religious reasons only, not for make-up testing. • QAS and online or printed copies of essays cannot be offered for make-up tests. Important Information about Test Fairness The SAT Program’s policies for testing are designed to give every student an equal opportunity to demonstrate college readiness and to prevent anyone from gaining an unfair advantage.
