Funny you should ask - this email came to my DD on Thursday July 7th from College Board - 9 days notice. Every kid who took the SAT on May 7th at this test center has 9 days notice to retake. My DD is furious. Several of her friends who are affected are out of town and cannot make the make up date. Also, the make up location is over an hours drive from our area. DD will have to take an day off her summer job at short notice in order to accommodate this make up date.
Below is the email we received from College Board.......
Dear Test-Taker:
We regret to inform you that we have not yet received the entire shipment containing SAT® and SAT Subject Test answer sheets from your Saturday, May 7, 2016 test center, XXXXX HIGH SCHOOL, at our processing center. Unfortunately, the shipment is still unaccounted for, despite exhaustive search efforts. Although we will continue to make every effort to find the missing answer sheets, experience has shown that if materials have not arrived by this point, they are unlikely to be located. For this reason, we have made arrangements for you to take a makeup test on Saturday, July 16, 2016.
Makeup Information:
To take the makeup test, please report by 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2016 to the test center noted below. You will be issued an updated Admission Ticket by mail, or you can print it through your online account at
collegeboard.org/mysat. On test day, be sure to bring your updated Admission Ticket along with your acceptable photo identification with you to the test center — you will not be admitted without them. Check your Admission Ticket for what else to bring on test day. If you are registered for the SAT or SAT with Essay, you may opt in or out of the Essay at check-in as long as sufficient materials, space, and staff are available to accommodate the change. However, you will not be permitted to change your test type from the SAT (with or without the optional Essay) to Subject Tests, or the reverse, on test day. A complete list of test-day guidelines can be found online at
sat.org/test-day and in the
Student Registration Guide.
Your scores from this makeup test will be reported as Saturday, May 7, 2016 test scores. Scores are usually available about seven weeks after a makeup administration. If you have concerns about the timing of your score report delivery to colleges and scholarship programs, please contact SAT Customer Service at the number below.
Note: please remember that there is a fee for sending score reports, starting ten days after your original test date.
Other Testing Options:
If you are unable to attend the makeup, you are entitled to a free transfer to a published test date. To transfer, please call SAT Customer Service (see the number below). As you consider your options, please keep in mind that some tests may only be offered once or twice a year (for example, certain SAT Subject Tests) and that the makeup might be your only opportunity to take the test for which you registered. Please visit
sat.org/register for a schedule of available SAT test dates. You may also want to check directly with the colleges and scholarship programs to which you are applying to make certain of their deadlines for receipt of test scores. Check
sat.org/scores for detailed score availability information.
For the SAT only: if you ordered the SAT Question-and-Answer Service for your original test date, it is not offered for the makeup test, and any fees will be refunded automatically. The Student Answer Service is still available for the makeup test.
We apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused you, and we assure you that every effort is being made to locate the shipment of answer sheets. If the shipment is located before the makeup test is administered, we will notify you immediately, cancel the makeup, and expedite the scoring of your answer sheet.
