3. The Bad News (reproduced directly from a College Board message)
The College Board has changed the policy for the upcoming May and June
2010 test administrations. Please note the following policy changes:
1. Standby registration is NOT allowed
2. Test Day Changes are NOT allowed (students cannot change test
center, test date or test type on the day of the test)
3. A current, valid national ID of the country in which the test
center is located is required
or 4. A current, valid passport is required
**No other identification is allowed for entry into the test center. A
national ID is only valid in the country of residence. If a student
needs to travel to another country to test, they must submit a valid
passport for admittance.**
An email has been sent out to all Test Center Supervisors notifying
them of this new policy and have has been advised to turn away all
students who do not meet the new ID requirement(s). Standby students
will also be turned away.
In addition to the Test Center Supervisor communication, an email
message was sent to all registered May 2010 students in these
countries and will be emailed again directly after the June
registration deadline to June 2010 registered students in these
countries.
Last, all test centers in Korea, Thailand and Vietnam now have a
special message that will be printed on a student’s admission ticket
communicating the new ID policy.
