   I'm more upset about the possibility of having to retake the exam than the money involved.
 It's truly infuriating. I'm not sure if the College Board pays schools to host the test centers or if there are other benefits, but I believe this school should be removed as a test site. While this may seem minor compared to the issues mentioned above, my child told me they didn't even take out their laptop. The College Board's DSAT preparation materials instruct to have laptops fully charged, and for the PSAT we took at the school, everyone used their own laptops. However, my child said that they were required to use the school's Chromebooks for the exam. 
  Just as a runner wouldn't wear new shoes on the day of a race but would use ones they are accustomed to, it seems unfair to force students who have never used Chromebooks to use them for the exam. I thought maybe this was just something I didn't understand about the public school system.
   However, after asking around, I found that kids who took the exam at other public schools today were allowed to use their own laptops. It seems this school was the only one enforcing the use of Chromebooks. The more I think about it, the more absurd this test center seems.[/quote]
