Makeup Testing

If your center is unable to open on test day or if a misadministration or irregularity occurs, a makeup test may be scheduled, and you will be notified by the SAT Program. The following policies apply to makeup testing:

  • Only registered students can take a makeup test. Students who have already tested during the same administration may not use a makeup administration to retest or to take a different SAT Program test.
  • You may test only at the center for which you are registered or authorized.
  • You may only take tests that you registered to take on the original date.
  • You must take the entire SAT or Subject Test at a makeup administration. You may not take partial tests or specific sections of a test.
  • Sunday testing is available for religious reasons only. You may not test on Sunday if you missed the test on Saturday.
  • Question-and-Answer Service cannot be offered for makeup tests. Access to your online essay image from a makeup administration is not available until several weeks after the makeup date.
