Standby testing at UiO
Standby testing is available for the SAT, ACT and GRE tests.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis for those who come on the day of the test. We will do our absolute best to accommodate as many standbys as possible.
Anyone who is not included on a test centre's list of candidates for a specific test date is considered a standby. This includes candidates registered for another test centre on the same date or registered for another test date or those who want to register on the day of the test. Students registered for other test centres and/or test dates must bring their test's Admission Ticket as proof of registration!
Admission is prioritised in the following order: same date/other centre registration, different date registration, day-of-test registration.
SAT students who will be 21 or older on the test day are cannot test as a standby. See the SAT website for more information.
