Canceling Your SAT Registration: Steps for Cancellation and Fee Refund

 

When to Go for Cancellation of SAT Registration

Firstly, it is very essential to have a clear mind before you register for the SAT because cancellation of SAT Registration has its own repercussion including additional fees and non-availability of suitable test centers. Additionally, if you do not cancel your SAT Registration before the deadlines close, you will not be eligible for any refund.

Let’s say, you had made up your mind to appear for the SAT in the month of June 2024 and thus started your preparation and completed your SAT registration too. If, at any moment, you feel you are not fully prepared or if there is an occurrence of any unforeseen situation that will not allow you to take the test in the registered test center, you can opt for cancellation of SAT Registration. Changing of test dates and test center requires SAT Cancellation and Re- Registration. The deadline is generally set 10-12 days before the actual day of the test. For example, the deadline for Changes, Regular Cancellation, or Late Registration is 21st May 2024.

Pros and Cons of SAT Cancellation

SAT cancellation pros and cons

Firstly, rescheduling is always a better option as it will not require you to register again and instead choose an alternate date for appearing for the test.

If in case you still wish to opt for SAT Cancellation, it is better to do it before the stipulated deadline. Visit the College Board Website to check the deadline and decide accordingly.

In case of cancelling your SAT Registration, you may not necessarily get a seat in the same center you opted for earlier and may even have to pay an additional fee to book a seat in a center in your closest vicinity (Some test centers charge an additional fee for test center booking). Check the list of such test centers when you register again.

Cancellation of SAT Registration can be beneficial when you are not well prepared for the test or have gotten sick or when you cannot visit the center you have chosen earlier during the registration because a poor SAT score leading to many more attempts doesn’t leave a good impression.
