Look for an email address on the SOA website specifically for SAAT inquiries. You can explain the situation (not receiving the test link despite receiving the mock test email) and request an update on your exam.
Many universities have a contact form on their website. Use that form to submit your inquiry about the SAAT LLB exam.
Check if SOA has active social media pages (Facebook, Twitter). You can send them a direct message explaining your situation and requesting information about your exam.
