Didn't register with full name?
- I have a Chinese name on my identification card, but I only registered with my first and last name, so do I have to call the SATs ppl up to change my name on my admission ticket and everything? Or can I still be admitted for the test? ANSWER: You'll need to contact The College Board to change your registration name. It must match your ID!

No Middle Initial
- I only put my first name and last name on my admissions ticket. My first and last name match exactly to the one on my school ID and driver's license, I just forgot to put my middle initial on the admission ticket, I have 2 middle names and I put neither on the admission ticket. My middle names aren't on my school ID but they are on my driver's license. Will I still be able to test with just my first and last name on the admission ticket? ANSWER: Yes! Middle names can be omitted; they just can't be different.

Wrong Picture
- i put the wrong picture on my admission ticket. The picture is not me, but someone else. Will they sill let me take the test even if i have my student ID? ANSWER: No! You'll need to submit a new photo. It has to be you, or you won't be able to take the exam.

Name
- Hi. My middle name starts with a G but I typed in a Q on accident. I have already registered, is there any way I can change it even though I've already registered? ANSWER: Yes. You'll need to contact the College Board to change it so it's accurate. Your middle initial can be omitted, but it can't be different.

Is there a name problem?
- My full name is Leung Jia Min Florence. However I registered with Florence Leung. Will it be accepted? ANSWER: That's a tricky one. They may consider your first name presented as your actual first name and not accept it. Contact the College Board to make sure that it's okay!
- —Guest Florence
Address
- My address contains letters like 'ł' and 'ó' and when I type it - there's a problem saying that I have to fill a blank with address. So I've replaced 'ł' with 'l' and 'ó' with 'o'. Then I sent an email to collegeboard about this but there's still no response. Is this really a problem or am I too... nervous? ANSWER: Your address will be fine with the changes you've made. =)

question - birth date
- My son input the wrong birth date in his online registration and was refused admittance to the test last weekend. How do we fix this? ANSWER: Contact the College Board if you haven't already. They'll be able to help him reschedule his test. What an unfortunate mistake!

Not allowed to continue registration.
- I have been trying to register for the sat website but sadly, the website has gotten me stuck on the All About Me portion and I cannot move forward. I have answered all the questions truthfully but overtime I try to continue it says that I have posted conflicting responses. Thank you in advance! ANSWER: "Conflicting responses" means that you've entered something in one space that contradicts something you've entered in another space. For example, you may have entered your birth date correctly in one spot, but mixed up the dates in another spot. Edit your work, or you'll keep getting that error message.

Middle name initials
- Okay so when i was registering for the Sat in May, i entered my middle initials and so on my SAT admission ticket it has Jeremy O Narciso, but on my school id it only has Jeremy Narciso. Will i still be able to get into the testing center if i show them my school id with no middle initial on it? ANSWER: Yes, that's okay. It would only be a problem if your middle initial were different.
- —Guest Jeremy
Name Problem
- What happens if your last name has an extra letter that wasn't suppose to be there.Would they let it go since it's just one letter wrong? ANSWER: You'll need to have it changed, even if it's just a typo. Contact the College Board and speak to someone who can change your information! http://sat.collegeboard.org/contact

Payment error
- After filling in the credit card information for payment and confirming it, an error message appeared at the top of the screen asking me to try again shortly or try a different credit card. I waited and then tried again with the same card, but the same thing happened. I turned off my computer and waited before trying again with the same card and again it didn't go through. The card did have money in it and there wasn't anything wrong with it, but I tried a different card and it went through that time. But I received three bank notices that the first three payments went through and have been charged $150. Will I be able to get a refund? ANSWER: Yes! Contact the College Board to notify them about the technical error: http://sat.collegeboard.org/contact
