SAT Centres

College Board will email you if your test centre has been closed. You can also contact the test centre directly and know whether they are open or not. In case the SAT exam centre is closed, the applicant may have to alter his/her selected centre and choose another one. This option is open for a  free switch before the applications for SAT exam are submitted. Once the SAT exam form is submitted, the exam centre change will require fee of USD 25 for a change. 

Follow your regular routine and prepare according to the test date only. Check your email before two days of the test and also if possible contact your test centre and confirm whether the test is going to be conducted or not. In case of discrepancy, College Board would be informed beforehand and further details would be shared with the respective applicants. In case of SAT exam centre conducting or not conducting the exam, the applicant will be given prior information and the next best solution too.

The students who would be appearing for the SAT exam at Indian SAT centres must ensure that they reach the exam centre 30 minutes before the exam starts. They must bring with themselves an official government ID card for identification purposes to enter the SAT centre. The applicants would be given breaks in between a section completion, they may or may not be allowed to leave the test centre. Applicants can carry with themselves their calculators and the device on which they'll be attempting the exam plus their water bottles too.

Applicants can reschedule their SAT exam date but there is no guarantee of getting an option for the same SAT exam centre. In some cases an applicant may find a spot at the previously chosen SAT exam centre as before may be available and in some cases it may not be available. This is why it is advised that students must make up their minds before choosing an exam date or centre. However, in case of genuine reasons, the option for rescheduling and changing the exam date and centre respectively are also available.

No, there is no provision of altering SAT exam centres at the last minute. Right after registering for the SAT exam, a window opens for a small time frame where students have the option of updating their SAT exam centres or even dates but at an additional cost. Thus, applicants cannot change the SAT exam centre right before the exam and should be careful while choosing the right exam centre so that they reach the centre within time from their home.

No, only one SAT exam centre can be chosen from the already given list of SAT exam centres in India. Applicants can register only once, for one SAT exam centre and one exam date only. Multiple selections from different ID's can lead to blacklisting of the candidate by College Board.

Booking an exam centre to appear for SAT is a part of the registration process. The applicants have to book a date and correspondingly choose the available exam centres available for the exam. Once the fee is paid for SAT registration, the applicants cannot modify the changes for exam centre. 

In case your test centre cancels the SAT exam, the submitted fee will be refunded. College Board will also arrange to reschedule the SAT exam at a later date either at that test centre or at any other test centre located nearby. Applicants can also check for another SAT date and centre for completing the registration. Since this is not the case usually, but in case a situation like this arises, students will not be at the losing end. 

Applicants will have to check the location they are in and the location where they want to sit for their SAT exam. In case they do not find SAT centre nearby, they can choose to appear for the exam at any other nearby SAT centre. It may not always be possible to find a SAT centre in the same location of residence of the applicant. Hence, its best to look for the next best option and prepare accordingly as to how to travel and how much buffer time you'd need to reach the centre and other miscellaneous factors before coming down to one option.

When choosing a SAT exam centre while registering, applicants should have the following pointers covered:The SAT exam centre must be 1 or 2 kms in distance.Exam centre must be within the same city and if possible in the same vicinity.Check beforehand how will you reach your SAT exam centre and in how much time plus which mode of transportation would suit you the best.Ensure that the exam centre you are choosing is conducting the exam and will not cancel at the last minute.Register early so that the seats don't run out at your preferred test centre.
