Regarding SATs this Weekend...

SAT Test Center Closings

The College Board is deeply concerned about all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. At this time, our main concern is for the safety of our student test-takers, their families and the educators and staff who help administer the SAT. We are in the process of trying to reach test centers affected by the storms that hit the east coast of the United States. We will be posting information about SAT test center closings for November 2012 as it becomes available.

In the event that we are unable to contact a test center, students and parents should assume that if the school is closed on Friday, November 2 for reasons related to Hurricane Sandy, it will not be administering the SAT this weekend. Students can also contact SAT customer service at             866-756-7346       to check on the status of their test center.

Students for whom the SAT is cancelled on this weekend will receive notification of a makeup date via email as soon as we are able to schedule it. Alternatively, they may choose to transfer their registration to another national administration at no charge.

To the best of their ability in current conditions, SAT Test Center Supervisors are asked to notify local media outlets if their centers are unable to open due to effects of Hurricane Sandy. In addition to the list of closings below, the College Board will distribute a list of test center closings to local media outlets on Friday afternoon.

Students whose test centers are closed should not try to test elsewhere on test day — supervisors cannot admit standbys or walk-ins.

For areas not affected by Hurricane Sandy, normal test center closing procedures apply:

SAT Test Center Supervisors are instructed to notify local media outlets when their centers are unable to open due to inclement weather, natural disaster, power failure, or other problems. Please check your local media for test center closings in your area.

If your center is listed as closed:

A new center may appear in the listing. In this case, access your online account and print a new, updated ticket with the new center information noted on it. You must bring your updated ticket with you on test day to the reassigned center.
If no new center appears, please be patient while we work to arrange a makeup date — you will be contacted as soon as a makeup is scheduled. Remember: don't try to test elsewhere on test day — supervisors cannot admit standbys or walk-ins.
