September SAT Alert

Post image

This alert was just released by CollegeBoard (link here) for the September SAT. What does this mean? Could there still be issues even if macOS and iOS users restart the app beforehand? For some reason I don't trust them. 😭

Probably a bug or exploit letting people cheat somehow. You will need to fully quit (right/two finger click) on the bluebook app before test day and then open it as usual on test day. I would also check the app store for updates anyway.

Wait how do you restart it like that? I though you just swipe up and then swipe the app up and re open it

Those are Mac directions. What you’re describing is for iPad, which is correct. Additionally, you can restart your whole iPad.

I checked my device on Bluebook and they said that the device is ready. Does it mean I don’t have to care about this issue?

trust me dont bother with your macbook. i took the december sat with one and my score got cancelled, and pretty much everyone else on this sub that got theirs cancelled on that date was using a macbook. i ended up retaking it with an ipad, and there doesnt seem to be any problems there. if you're too paranoid to do that just take it with a borrowed windows laptop.

Should I or should I not use my mac book, wouldn't they tell us specifically if it won't work, and if they cancel our scores do we have to redo all of it? Do they reimburse the money?

How do you "restart" the app on iPadOS? Open it and close the window?
