Many students who registered for the SAT March 14 exam are currently wondering whether the exam will take place in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other parts of the UAE. This concern is due to the current situation in the country and the recent changes in school operations.
Schools in the UAE Shift to Distance Learning
Since March 2, schools in the UAE have shifted to distance learning. Some schools have also started their early spring break, and many campuses remain closed until further notice.
Because of these closures, there is a possibility that the SAT March 14 exam in the UAE may be cancelled or rescheduled, depending on the situation at each test center.
Updates from the College Board
Many SAT test takers have received emails from College Board indicating that, due to the current situation, test centers may be closed or exams may be cancelled.
However, at the time of writing this article, there has been no official confirmation from College Board about the cancellation of the SAT March 14 exam in the UAE.
Typically, the test center or school informs College Board about closures first, and then College Board sends the official notification to registered students.
Students are advised to regularly check their email and College Board account for official updates.
What Happens If the SAT March 14 Exam Is Cancelled?
If the SAT March 14 exam in the UAE is cancelled, there are usually three possible options provided by College Board:
Full Refund – Students may receive a refund for their SAT registration fee.
Rescheduling to the May Exam – The exam may be automatically moved to the May SAT exam or another available test date.
Special Makeup Exam – Some test centers may organize a special makeup SAT exam, depending on availability.
College Board will send official instructions and options directly to registered students via email.
Possible Makeup SAT Exam in Dubai
Some SAT students in Dubai have already received communication from their test centers about a possible special SAT makeup exam scheduled for March 28. However, this will depend on whether the situation improves and if test centers are able to reopen.
Students should wait for official confirmation from their test center or College Board before making any assumptions.
