[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT, thanks for the clarification.  In this area, there are no options but to wait until CB emails the test takers, which tells me the subject tests will likely be cancelled.  ie: test takers are not given access to sign up right now. As it is, CB took the essay away and rerouted kids to their home base school. I feel like they are penalizing the kids who like school, and lowering the bar re: "fair and equitable". [/quote]

Or there's a pandemic and they are trying to balance the risks to health and giving students a chance to take the most widely required component of the SAT?[/quote]
+1  No one is trying to penalize anyone.  CB would love for everyone to test as much as possible ($$).

OP, I am still trying to figure out why you are so upset. Are you aware that ordinarily both subject tests and SAT1 are given at each test center at the same time?  Are you under the impression that when [i]test centers[/i] reduce capacity, CB is giving lower priority to subject tests than to SAT1?  While I had not heard of that happening, it would make total sense.  Sorry, but as a couple of folks indicated, subject tests are less important in college admission than ever, and the trend has been going in that direction for years.  What college or program is your child applying to that is still recommending subject tests for this fall's admission season?[/quote]

Not relevant, as you are clearly on the defensive and looking for information to attack and/or criticize.

This thread is for parents and students who want the subject tests. [/quote]
