Making Changes
Changing your Test Center, Test Date, or Test Type
You can make corrections to your personal information, such as your address and high school code. No fee applies to such corrections.
There is a fee if you are registered for a test and want to change the test center, test date, or which test you registered to take. To make changes, call us no later than the Wednesday that is 2
weeks before the test date to speak with a customer service representative.
- Contact us Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Summer hours for SAT Program Customer Service (after the June administration through August) are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Try to avoid the busiest day (Monday), the busiest hours (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.), and registration deadline dates.
- A credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card) is required to pay the additional fee. When you call, be ready to tell the Customer Service representative your registration number and test date, your social security number, and the credit card number and expiration date.
If you miss the deadline for making a change, you can still try to make the change on the day of the test. Go early to the test center of your choice and explain the situation to the test supervisor. If space and materials are available, you will be admitted before standbys. You will be billed for the change fee.
Notes About Changes
Test Center Change
If your first- or second-choice test center is not listed on your Admission Ticket, chances are the center you requested when you registered was full and you were assigned to the next closest available test center.
Test Date Change/Absence on Test Day
If you were absent from a test for which you registered and want to test on another date, call Customer Service to transfer to a later date.
Test Change
You can change your test from SAT Reasoning Test to SAT Subject Tests or from SAT Subject Tests to SAT Reasoning Test. There is no charge for changing from one Subject Test to a different Subject Test. If you want to substitute one Subject Test for another, you should do that at the test center.
You may substitute any Subject Tests offered except the Language Tests with Listening. You cannot change to a listening test on test day because test centers do not have extra CDs. If you want to change to a listening test or from one listening test to another, you must do so by the late registration deadline.
