ok-_- i totally jacked up
i feel like crap because i thought the late reg. deadline for nov testing was TODAY.
but it ended two days ago.
i was planning to take the Spanish Listening Test in November, but i can't take Spanish w/ Listening because they don't let standby test-takers take it and i totally screwed up
but i NEED to take another subject test because the college im applying early to needs 3. so far i have math IIC, us history, and KOREAN, but i really don't think they'll appreciate my score for korean. im planning to take LITERATURE as my other subject test even though i hate lit.. i really don't have a choice because i know i can't take a science one.
and i need to know if any of you guys took standby testing before.
i know it's not very safe and i might end up sending in my korean score but still...
anyone wanna let me know how it works?

I've never been a standby tester, but this is basically how it works - you go to the testing site the day of the test, and ask them if you can be a standby tester. If they have space and enough materials, they'll let you take the test. You'll have to fill out the Registration paperwork and pay an extra fee.
Whether or not there's space depends on where you live - however, whenever I've taken the SATs, there have always been 1 or 2 standby testers, so if you get there early, you have a good chance.

Standby Testing
If you miss the late registration deadline, there's still a chance you can sometimes take the SAT as a standby. Test centers accept standbys on a first-come, first-serve basis only if they have enough space, testing materials, and staff—so there is no guarantee that you'll be admitted to the test.
Instructions
To be considered for standby testing, please be present at the test center on test day before 7:45 a.m. You will also be charged a $36 standby fee in addition to the regular fee for the test or tests you wish to take.
Bring a completed Registration Form, sealed in its envelope, along with payment by check, money order, or credit card. Checks and money orders should be made payable to "The College Board."
Please don't call test supervisors for information about standby testing, since they do not know until test day if there will be room to admit you as a standby tester.
Exceptions
Students taking Language Tests with Listening cannot test as standbys. Students testing in Kenya, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, or Cameroon cannot test as standbys.
