When he took the SAT.. school fell down on the job. And unlike the previous year with the Math SAT II's they didn't contact us, I had to contract them. He refused to take the use a computer for the essay, and we didn't get the SAT accommodations changed in time. If we got that figured out in time he could have taken it at the regular testing center. He ended up taking the SAT on a Tues afternoon the same week he took AP's. These failures partly happened because of the same person who messed up the PSAT, she went on maternity leave in the spring. (And then didn't come back this fall... meaning all the college stuff is slow to start up.)
We failed to really think thew how long it was and they never gave him a break for lunch, nor did we provide him for it. The extra-time and a half make the test really really long & he said never again. He did well enough though that we can make that true. Particularly given his grades, getting a few more points on the SAT isn't going to change his acceptance level.
