<p>SAT</a> will let students pick which scores to show colleges - Los Angeles Times</p>
<p>WHAT?!? THIS IS HUGE NEWS!!!</p>
<p>Why can't it be for the class of 2009? WHY?</p>
<p>I suppose the SAT wants to get back students that have been going to the ACT for that very reason...they can pick and choose scores...</p>
<p>It seems that you can pick the scores from one sitting, but you cannot combine scores from different test dates.</p>
<p>Yeah, there's no "superscore." Is that the term? Anyway, the only bad part I guess is if you go through that threshold of taking too many tests and you don't earn what you wanted, there's no going back and you're stuck with taking the test a bunch of times.</p>
<p>wait! so,if im going to be a junior in this coming school year,i can pick what scores to send in my senior year ,right?</p>
<p>Hmm, do you think it'll be like the ACT where you have to pay a certain amount per test sent or one score report with all desired tests sent for a certain price?</p>
<p>WHAT TEH EFFFFFF no fair why does the class of 2010 get everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well at least in my school they do)</p>
<p>Oh well, I've taken the SAT once and I'm going to take it once more.</p>
<p>I don't really see this as cause for celebration. I can't see the closing quote to the article being accurate; the average student's chances remain the same but as the article notes the obsessive test takers' chances rise. Personal growth can no longer be seen, instead we again have marginalized individuality.</p>
<p>Too bad, I like the current policy of all-or-nothing.</p>
<p>Class of 2010? Oh well that sure is helpful.</p>
<p>well, now people will be taking LOTS of SATs....like 5 times >.<</p>
<p>That's definitely true...</p>
<p>I do like how the current model forces kids to not stress once they've taken it 2-3 times. It's like "Okay, you're done. Now what else do you have?" Otherwise, even kids with 2350 will be tempted to retake just to get that 2400...because colleges will never know they were that obsessive.</p>
<p>agreed, so glad class of 2009 (seniors!! woot!) are missing out on this 'benefit"...</p>
<p>...what will this cause? people taking the SAT at every possible test date. encouraging people to absolutely study every single section. I liked that you could cherrypick sections-you don't need to keep restudying a section after you've aced it. </p>
<p>Personally, short term, I think this will just put at a disadvantage any student in 2010 who wasn't already obsessively taking the SATs-and people who have taken it 12 times will be a great advantage.</p>
<p>yeah superscoring was awsome for me I prefer the present system</p>
<p>LOL i don't really like this...
Anyways i think this is just an attempt for CollegeBoard to make more money than they already have. Allowing students to hide their scores will encourage them to take it numerous times and just increase this "nonprofit organization's" profits.
It's like 84 dollars for AP's now...wt F is that crap!!</p>
<p>hmmm, so I could as a entering sophomore take the test as many times as possible? Right, well unis aren't stupid. It'll just trivialize SAT scores more...</p>
<p>1) I love the idea, being a Class of 2010'er, for the sake of not stressing out over doing less than satisfactory on ONE SAT ONE time.
2) I hate the idea, being a Class of 2010'er, that you cannot superscore, which in many situations is more advantageous than a unrecorded score.</p>
<p>Do you really think you can take the SAT over and over and colleges not realize?</p>
<p>they did not say they would stop superscoring, they just said that they would not superscore for you, so you could still send the 2-3 times you took the test and received your best scores and send it to unis and have them superscore it.</p>
<p>laserbase is EXAACTLY correct. it is just a way for the collegeboard to scam students and make more money. People are just going to start taking it more times.
and as for superscoring....just send in 2 or 3 results and let the colleges superscore for u</p>
