In an unfortunate turn of events, the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) examination scheduled for August 26 at the Regent Plaza center in Karachi has been abruptly cancelled. The decision to cancel the exam was made by the SAT management at this center, citing persistent internet connectivity problems as the primary reason for this unprecedented move.
The SAT test, a crucial assessment conducted by the College Board, USA, takes place seven times a year globally, attracting a substantial number of students aiming to achieve the required minimum score for college admissions. In Pakistan, several renowned universities such as IBA, FAST, and LUMS, among others, consider SAT scores as a prerequisite for admission.
For years, the Regent Plaza hotel has been a prominent venue for administering SAT tests in Karachi. However, this morning witnessed disappointment and frustration among hundreds of students who had dedicated hours to the examination. Approximately two hours into the test, the SAT management announced the cancellation, attributing it to persistent and unresolved internet connectivity issues.
While the rescheduled date for the SAT test has not yet been announced, it is speculated that the examination might be postponed to the regular October 2023 SAT Test date. This unforeseen cancellation has left students and parents concerned about the impact on their academic plans and college application timelines.
Stay tuned for further updates as the SAT management works towards resolving the situation and determining the new examination date. We understand the frustration and uncertainty this situation has caused, and we hope for a swift resolution to these connectivity issues for the smooth conduct of future SAT examinations.
