<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am thinking to get DD to try ACT or SAT, I recalled reading somewhere that tests taken at 8th grade does not count, does it apply to both tests?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>SAT at 8th grade or earlier will be purged. Early ACT score would not be sent to school unless you request anyway. Neither would be counted against you.Should a 7th grader take the ACT or SAT? - CBS News ”>http://www.cbsnews.com/news/should-a-7th-grader-take-the-act-or-sat/</a> ;
Middle-schoolers who take the SAT don’t have to worry about their scores being held against them.The College Board purges the scores of SAT test takers in the 8th grade or below at the end of the testing year. As a result, no college will ever find out what this child’s test results were, unless she wants to share them. Young test takers can request that their scores be made part of their permanent record. </p>
<p>Students that age also don’t have to worry about colleges seeing their early ACT scores. The test maker will only share them with colleges if the child requests it. About 40,000 middle-schoolers take the ACT every year.
