if you wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night because you completely<\/em> forgot to register for the sat<\/a>, take a deep breath! you might still be able to squeeze in on the waitlist.<\/p>\n

do i need to sign up for the standby waitlist?<\/h2>\n

first of all, you don\u2019t actually need to start panicking! you might feel freaked out if you realize that you missed the deadline to register for this important test<\/a>, but chances are, you might be able to get in. for students who forgot to sign up for the sat on time, or might not have realized they needed to take the sat on a particular date, college board offers a waitlist status.
\n 
\nespecially with the summer approaching, when fewer test dates are offered<\/a>, this might be your last chance to retake the sat unless you can wait until fall. or, if you really need to take the satright now<\/em><\/a> to stay on track with college applications, then requesting waitlist status is exactly what you need!
\n 
\nbasically, being on the waitlist for the sat means you have a special ticket that doesn\u2019t automatically guarantee you a seat and test. after all other students are checked in, if there is extra room and materials, you might be able to take the sat.
\n 
\nbut, keep in mind that you cannot request waitlist status if you are making up a rescheduled test, and you probably won\u2019t be able to get special testing formats or extra time. you may be able to get the 50% time extension, if<\/em> you have your eligibility approval letter, but even with your letter, time accommodations may not be available as a waitlist test taker. unfortunately, if you need special testing accommodations, requesting waitlist status isn\u2019t the best idea.<\/p>\n

how do i request waitlist status?<\/h2>\n

if you\u2019ve decided that you really need to take an upcoming sat instead of waiting for a later sat, you can request to be waitlisted for the next sat testing date. however, even the waitlist for the sat has a deadline. you can only request the waitlist for the sat up to five<\/strong> days before the test.
\n 
\nto request waitlist status, create a college board student account or log in<\/a>. fill out all the required information online, including a current photo of yourself, and make sure to submit payment. you\u2019ll have to pay for both the sat and the current $46.00 waitlist fee. since the combined sat registration and waitlist fees are pretty hefty, only go for the waitlist option if it is really necessary! <\/p>\n

do waitlisted students actually get in?<\/h2>\n

on the day of the sat, you\u2019ll bring your photo id and other necessary items (pencils, water bottle\u2026)<\/a> just like you would with a regular registration. but, you\u2019ll bring the waitlist ticket instead of a normal admission ticket, of course. you have<\/em> to print out your waitlist ticket, and you have<\/em> to go to the testing center you registered for! if you show up on the wrong date or with a ticket for the wrong location, you won\u2019t be able to take the sat.
\n 
\nsince waitlist test takers are allowed inside on a first-come, first-serve basis, you still might not get in. it\u2019s up to the testing center supervisor whether or not you\u2019ll be admitted, and there are no guarantees with a waitlist ticket. even if there are extra seats and tests, if there are more waitlisted students than tests, someone else might get in ahead of you. if you don\u2019t get in, your waitlist ticket won\u2019t apply to any other test dates. luckily, the $46 waitlist fee is only charged if you are able to get in on test day.<\/p>\n

other waitlist tips <\/h2>\n
    \n
  • don\u2019t request waitlist status if you can easily take the sat on the next available date.<\/li>\n
  • you won\u2019t be able to get the waitlist fee waived. <\/li>\n
  • if you\u2019re older than 21, you won\u2019t be able to get waitlist status. <\/li>\n
  • if you need to take the sat language with listening subject tests, you won\u2019t be able to use the waitlist option. <\/li>\n
  • if you need to take the sat on a sunday, you can request waitlist status only<\/em> if you have already taken the sat on a sunday and you are retaking the sat. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
