<p>I am going to be attending 9th grade at my local high school this year. When I took the SAT in June, I had no idea that there was a "no school" box that could be checked, so I filled out my local high school. Will this score that I received (1890) be sent to the high school? I am really concerned about this :( I don't want colleges seeing such a bad score.</p>
<p>EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong section, I have no idea where this type of post would go.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the score being sent to your high school but don’t worry about the college part. If you took the SAT before reaching the 9th grade level then you’re a step ahead of a large group of students in the USA. I’m sure that throughout the next three years of your life, you will take maybe 1-2 more SATs that will show continual improvement in your scores. Some colleges ask you to send all your scores (including the one you took just this year) but even then you don’t have to worry about it because either they will take a look at your improvement and choose the highest overall SAT score you got, choose based on your most recent scores (although this is the rarest of the three), or choose the accumulative scores in which they choose the highest scores from each of the three sections and combine them together (superscore) even though those scores may have been from different tests on different days. </p>
<p>I don’t even think you need to worry about your high school one. So what if they see your bad score? It’s high school! Unless you go to one of those really prestigious high schools that require such scores, then you might be in trouble cuz they might reject you but from the books I read about such schools, it’s usually not based on the SAT but rather some other test that they themselves administer. </p>
<p>So don’t worry about it! You’re on the right path :)</p>
<p>Can colleges see what year the SAT score is from?</p>
<p>You honestly think that is a bad score? Good grief… Do you even know how many good colleges you would be accepted to with a 1890?</p>
<p>And for future reference, most colleges only require your best score. Each one has their own SAT policy , so you will just have to look where you plan on applying. </p>

<p>Sorry if I set my standards too high haha… But my only line of reference to compare to is my friends and acquaintances. They are also entering 9th and have 2140s and one even has a 2350…</p>
<p>Well it’s not about “setting your standards high.” It’s about insulting people that get those scores when they are honestly fantastic. You can get into very good schools with those scores.</p>
