Hundreds of college applicants gathered at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for digital SAT testing but many were unable to test because of a Wi‑Fi failure. More than 4,000 students were scheduled for the Saturday administration, and roughly 600 students missed the exam due to connectivity problems. Students experienced heavy traffic, long walks, and large, anxious crowds before waiting several hours inside testing rooms. Staff appeared stressed and understaffed while students received repeated assurances that technicians would resolve the issue. Administrators reported successful Wi‑Fi testing on Friday but encountered problems the following morning.
I was like, 'Oh, god.' I really just wanted this to be over with. It was frustrating.
There was an enormous room that kind of felt like an airport, like crisscrossing lines of people everywhere,
There was like a small number of somewhat stressed looking employees trying to give everyone the information they needed, but it seemed like there wasn't enough.
It was drawn out, and they kind of kept giving us false hope by being like 'Oh, like, tech people are gonna come fix it,'
