SAT today

Bummer. So kids will have to register for the next administration if they're worried about this first one. Usually if you find out in 2 weeks then the kid has enough info to make a decision because they have an actual score. With a 6 week gap that can't happen.

When my kid took it in June 2019 there was about a 5 week or longer gap between the test and the score.

Hi person! Why don’t you actually do something worthwhile than keep trolling to brag about your daughters ACT

That 6 week wait is only for June, when there isn't another test until August, and accordingly, plenty of time to register.

Normally, the August release date is 13 days after the test, right around the deadline for Oct registration. But this year, it's 23 days after the test.

College Board added a late September date one week before the early Oct date. August scores will be released five days before the Sept test.

Hope there will still be slots open 5 days prior ... That is a tight turnaround.

No, sorry, there is a misunderstanding. The registration deadline for Sept was Aug 26, late deadline Sept 15. You cannot wait for Aug before registering for the Sept test date only 4 weeks later. Even under normal circumstances, there isn't enough time between test dates that are so close together.

I actually felt bad for all the kids there, not just mine. And for the kids who couldn’t get a spot since the whole situation is unacceptable.
I hope it makes some of you feel really good to be so rude to others online. So brave.

Hey OP, can you answer the PP? Is your kid a junior who took a spot from a senior? I hope this is the end of the College Board and the SAT. I hope all the juniors who took these spots find their tests are worthless next year when all schools drop the test completely. Juniors do not need to be taking the test in August. OP, you are horrible.

My kid is in 8th grade and I dropped them off this morning. Sucks to be you if you couldn’t get your kid into a testing center.

Your kid is in middle schools and you dropped them off for an SAT test in a pandemic?
Wow, sucks to be your kid.

Yeah because being 13 vs 16 or 17 makes such HUGE difference. Sucks to be a kid whose parent is too incompetent to figure out how to get the tested

DP. there's no reason for you to risk your 13 year old's health for a test that won't be relevant to him or her for four years. But keep telling yourself that other parents are the incompetent parents.

One - how do you know what is or isn’t relevant for MY kid.

Two - I would rather be a parent who decides what’s best for their kid and gets it done than a parent who expects other parents to sacrifice what they think is right for their kids because I’m unable to manage things for my own kid.

NP you are a selfish a@@. Older kids need the spots not your kid. Schools say they are test optional but it's a game. They say that because they know only the students will the top scores will report their scores. It allows them to increase their states to move them up the usnews rankings. SATs and ACT scores still matter and make a differrence.

I think the PP is trolling about the 8th grader taking the SAT. Ignore.

Thank you for the link.

Unfortunately, as usual, Prepscholar (which is just a third party website having no authority on anything whatsoever) is out of date. College Board changed the score released dates in late spring/early summer. The actual dates are here: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/getting-scores

Parents should call College Board to object. College Board should release scores in 2 weeks, instead of 21 days. This is especially important this year due to all the difficulties that seniors face.

I assume they split them up between rooms, and try all wore masks. I'm glad they held it. Scholarships are riding on geese exams.
