Canceling Scores
How students can cancel their SAT Subject Test scores
Students who feel that they did not do their best on an SAT Subject Test can cancel scores on the test within a few days (see below). Subject Test scores for all Subject Tests taken on that date are canceled. Once a request to cancel scores has been submitted, scores cannot be reinstated and are not reported to the student or any institutions.
Canceling scores at the test center
If a student begins taking a test and decides that she is not ready for it, she can cancel the test scores before leaving the test center. Students should not try to erase all answers to a test. Although erasure of all answers is interpreted as a request to cancel scores, if the scanning equipment reads some of the answers, the test scores may not be canceled.
To cancel a score at the test center, a student:
- Asks the test supervisor for a Request to Cancel Test Scores Form
- Completes and signs the form before leaving the test center
- Returns form to the test supervisor before leaving the center
Canceling scores because of equipment failure
If equipment fails during a Mathematics Level 1 or Mathematics Level 2 test or during a Language Test with Listening, a student can request to cancel just the scores on the affected test, and still have the other Subject Tests scored.
If students' equipment malfunctions, they must:
- Report the equipment failure during the test
- Fill out and sign a Request to Cancel Test Scores form, checking off "Single Subject Test Equipment Failure"
- Return the completed form to room supervisor before leaving
Canceling scores after leaving the test center
Students may decide to cancel their scores after leaving the test center. We must receive the request to cancel scores in writing no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the Wednesday after the test date. Students cannot submit cancellation requests by phone or email—their signature is required. Students with disabilities who test in school-based testing have until the Monday a week after the published test date to cancel their scores, due to the extended school-testing window.
