I can't decide. :( I really want to see my score first, but I know we can't.

I probably will. But I hate to spend all the money on the test and a hotel room again.

I live in the 2nd largest city in Georgia yet there's no testing center here. Go figure. I had to stay in Atlanta.

I live in a small town and the test center is 1.5 hours away. I could get up early and drive but it would probably stress me out and make me tired.

I'd like to take it again, just on account of all the calculus problems I'd study more for. UF's deadline for applications is February 1, so if I took the January test, would they get the scores in time?

Well I'm thinking by the time we get our scores (especially with the Wilma folks taking it a week later), the test centers would have been almost filled up, since the deadline is December 9. I know that if I'd waited till the last minute to register for the October test, I wouldn't have been able to take it cuz all the testing centers were mostly all full (at least in Georgia). I don't know about the ones that were further away (like Valdosta and Lawrenceville) but Atlanta, Athens, and Statesboro were all full.

You must live in Augusta, right? That's crazy that there's no testing center there b/c it's so far away from everywhere. I'm from Columbus, which doesn't have one either, but Auburn, AL does & that's only 35-45 minutes away, so I lucked out.

You are correct... :D actually the closest center to Augusta is Statesboro, but the hotels there were all full cuz of their homecoming game, and it was the same situation with Athens.

my friend told me that you would receive your score after the deadline to register. so by that time, if you have to take it again, you would pay a late fee..which is around $50. if you register now and you cancel later, you'll only get a partial refund but you'll get your preference of location. either way, we lose money. i went ahead and registered.

Those bastards at harcourt. They screwed people last year. Some Oct 04 test taker got their result in the 1st or 2nd week of Dec. I got my Nov 04 2 weeks before my Oct result. I had to pay the late fee for the Jan 05 test and had to travel 3.5 hours to the next closest test site. I know some people traveled from NY to NC that winter weather day. As I remembered clearly, they cancelled serveral test centers alone the northeast states due to the snow storm. I guess fork over the money now and not worry about traveling.

I have just registered for PCAt for the Jan. 21 after much consideration. I wish this will be the FIRST AND THE LAST time for me to take it but oh well, anything goes.
