Getting an SAT test center

In some of the larger cities, registering late for the SAT has obvious disadvantages, since you may not get your first choice, second choice or even 3rd choice test center. In this case, unless you want to drive a few hours to a far away test center, you still have an option to take the SAT: stand by testing. You go early to the test center and wait if somebody does not show up, then you can pay the stand by testing fee and take the SAT or SAT subject tests at any test center you choose.
