Spring exam dates were canceled because of the pandemic, often with little notice, and the College Board, which produces the SAT, abandoned plans for an online, at-home option. When the board added a September test date for the first time in decades, more than 334,000 students registered to take it on Saturday. (The rival ACT has faced similar disruptions; nearly a third of its centers were closed for the Sept. 19 testing date.) The College Board said less than 10 percent of its testing sites across the country were full on Saturday. The student who flew to Arizona learned about it on Saturday, when she arrived at the testing site, he said.
