Fee waivers help attract applicants to US schools. If those applicants are super qualified and come to the US, they may stay here and work which is a net positive to the economy. It’s the same reason countries like the UK offer visas to people who graduate from top schools.
My child signed up for a June SAT, then couldn't take it because they were chosen to be a junior marshall for graduation, which was on that day. We didn't contact the College Board at all, didn't offer up any excuses, didn't let them know ahead of time. They just didn't show up. A few days after the test, the College Board sent an email offering a chance to reschedule. There may have been a rescheduling fee - I don't remember (it was 10 years ago). If there was a rescheduling fee, it was still a lot less than the cost of registering in the first place. You may be contacted. In your case, the biggest issue might be that there are fewer opportunities to write the test, so it may be tricky trying to get it done before you need the score for your applications.
they won't give you a refund or a free retake. you're going to have to pay to take it again in august. it happens. i wish the best for you and your family. 🙏
Normally, I wake up at 6:30. But this time I've slept through my alarm, and I got up because of the phone call at like 8:00 when they were already closing down the doors😭
Yup. I have a habit of being late to things so I planned to leave at 6:20 when it takes about 50 min to get from my house to my testing center. I did, as expected, forget some stuff and left late, but I still got into the testing center by 7:30. You live and you learn 🤷♂️
if you’re taking the sat, i think you should brush up on grammar. i genuinely don’t mean this in a rude way at all, but your grammar should be better if you’re trying to get a good score.
i know that not everyone uses good grammar on social media, and my grammar definitely isn’t perfect on reddit either. i’m more concerned about “so now i didn’t write it” and “it costed me 103 dollars”. native english speakers don’t talk like that, and if you got that wrong, you’ll probably get a lot of the grammar and vocab wrong too
Yeah, I'm just not a native speaker. And English is actually my third language. On top of that, I wrote this post in a hurry, while being distressed by the situation. I will take everything you've said into account, thanks
i am aware that there are people who don’t speak english as their first language. i can obviously tell by op’s post that they don’t speak english as their first language (they literally said they live in a third world country). it’s still gonna hurt their sat score if they can’t improve, which is why im mentioning it to them
yes, i am aware. but there are still many vocab questions and grammar questions that OP probably wont get right based on this post. i dont see a need to argue. i’m not trying to put down OP or anything, its actually really impressive that english is their third language. i’m just trying to help out so maybe they can study more english before their next attempt
Sadly, there is nothing you can do really, my friend went through the same thing when she forgot her ID, and they couldn't do anything about it other than tell her to retake it later
Hey there, you can give them a call at their international hotline: 212-713-8000. They'll assist you with rescheduling, but keep in mind there might be a fee involved for the rescheduling.
>Is there any way to retake or get my money back?
You can retake by registering for the next test and paying the fee again. You probably won't get a refund and no offense you don't deserve one either. Think of it as an expensive lesson on setting an alarm.
Your best bet to use the fact that you live in a 3rd world country and the particular reason beyond your control (public transit failure, safety concern, critical family obligation, etc). Definitely don’t say you slept through your alarm.
not trying to say lying is a good idea but perhaps there is another situation that is out of your hands that could be used to justify the situation … saying you overslept is not a good idea lol
You can try calling them up, but it's unlikely that they'll issue you a refund now.
So that means, I can only try to retake it?
Correct
Ok thanks
[удалено]
Yeah, thats true
Have you ever thought about registering for sat waivers?
the sat waiver is only available for usa only
Oh, that sucks :(
i’m a vietnamese and $103 is a large amout of money that it can let me survive through 3 weeks easily but sadly i’m not eligible for waivers 😭
I too am Vietnamese! but we live in the US so we can qualify for fee waivers. Hope your situation gets better bro, its the darn commies
y people downvote u
Idk
I don't think I am eligible
[удалено]
What is that supposed to mean?
[удалено]
Well, I dont know why you had the urge to comment that I shouldn't be eligible, even though I knew I am not. But whatever you want, mister America
[удалено]
Where did you see me trying to get a waiver? I literally told the other guy, that I am not eligible🤷♀️
Chill with the patriotism

Very true
You'll have to retake it. I doubt you will get a refund.
That’s on you. You’re probably not getting a refund or free retake, so just move on and be careful next time.
Probably not, oversleeping is your fault. It sucks but hopefully you can make it up…

Try again in August,
U live and u learn.

i highly doubt that they will give you a refund
You'll just have to retake it, unfortunately. Missing your test because you weren't able to wake up isn't a good enough reason to issue a refund.
They will most likely not refund. However, you may get a discount for the next SAT.
I will try to do that, thanks for the help
how much time late we're talking about
I came at 8:15, when the SAT started at 8:00
Normally I’ll show up like half an hour early at 7:30, why did u wait so long?? 😭

Happens to the best of us 😭 hope u get a refund or retest
Thank, I really appreciate it
happen to all of us
Dude I showed up a whole 1 hour early for the SAT. For important tests like these you HAVE to be early than late
Yup. I have a habit of being late to things so I planned to leave at 6:20 when it takes about 50 min to get from my house to my testing center. I did, as expected, forget some stuff and left late, but I still got into the testing center by 7:30. You live and you learn 🤷♂️
Go make your money back for your family and take it again, its on you
Bro you play valorant, dont talk about working
Go be useful
There is a thing you need if you need money and it’s called a job.
id call
You can retake it, but it's extremely unlikely that they'll refund you your money.
I’m sorry but this is 100% your fault, you have to eat the cost

Bro this is reddit, of course my grammar here will be bad

wait till bro hears the fact that not everyone here has english as their native language😱 [](https://emojipedia.org/face-screaming-in-fear)

if no one even asked for it why even bother lmao just stay in your lane
just trying to save op $100… no need to be rude!

never said their english was bad, just saying there’s a lot of room for improvement

did you even read my comment?
[удалено]
well if you read my comment, then you would’ve seen that i already addressed that
[удалено]
once again, read my comment.
Maybe see if u could get a waiver for the next test
how can we get a waiver
I think you have to meet a certain income or be on one of the school lunch help programs
Only us Citizens are eligible for a fee waiver😭
Bummer. You’ll probably have to retake it. Chin up, kid!

Rule 6: No advertisements or solicitations.
Sadly, there is nothing you can do really, my friend went through the same thing when she forgot her ID, and they couldn't do anything about it other than tell her to retake it later
Take it in the fall
They gave me a refund of 25 dollars when I called them pretending to be sick as the reason for me missing it
Oh, I will take that into account

You will not get a refund. You will have to reschedule and pay the fee again. .
You gotta reschedule it. Next time make sure you set an alarm to wake up on time.
