Do SAT Subject Scores Expire?

<p>I want to take the SAT Subject test in biology, but I want to take it at the end of 9th grade. So if I take it, and I like my score, will it expire by the time I apply to colleges?</p>

<p>As far as I know, you should be fine. With the SAT, I know that collegeboard will hold on to it at least until you graduate. A bigger issue will be whether schools will take a subject test score from ninth grade. I would recommend emailing a couple of colleges that you are interested in and see if they will accept your scores; I’m a sophomore and I did the same for the SAT. Most of the colleges I contacted were fine with sophomore SAT scores, but you should double check subject scores just to be sure.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response…I had another question. Will colleges be able to see every SAT score for all the tests I have taken? That is, if I don’t do well on a SAT subject test/SAT, can they see it, or is the score automatically sent?</p>

<p>There’s you’re answer. Scroll down to the pdf that describes all of the score choice policies that schools have. Note that it’s from Nov. 2009.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. My other question is: can you use score choice for subject tests? The link talks about the SAT, but I wasn’t sure if it included SAT Subject tests…</p>

<p>That, I’m not so sure about.</p>

<p>Yes, it includes SAT Subject Tests.</p>

<p>Plus, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you DON’T take anything in your 9th or even 10th grade and, if possible, avoid your 11th for the following reasons:</p>

<p>You WOULDN’T have finished any of the SAT Subject Tests courses UNTIL you’re in the 11th or 12th grade.</p>

<p>Second, I did ONE SAT Subject Test as a junior (11th Grade) and got a great mark, but because the screwed up college I’m applying to, wouldn’t take ANY SAT Subject Test before my Senior Year, that score is like: IT NEVER EXISTED. And I retook the same exam a year later as a senior, a couple weeks ago, and I SCREWED UP BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDD, and this HORRIBLE SCORE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE CONSIDERED IN MY APPLICATION.</p>

<p>Can you believe this demented crap!!! Not mentioning, the blaming and torturing I’m getting, as if I placed the rules!!!</p>

<p>So, BETTER listen to my advice, kid. I HAVE BEEN THERE.</p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what college is it that wouldn’t take the subject test scores before senior year? Is it the same with the SAT?</p>

<p>@Swiftness Which school would do that? LMAO</p>

<p>^^Believe me, YOU WOULDN’T WANNA KNOW!!!
But, Let’s say that Stanford would have accepted me if I applied AT ALL. But, my parents have been planning that I go to this screwed up school before I was born, cause it is PUBLIC, if you know what I mean?!!</p>

<p>@Foodlover001, NO, it IS NOT the same with the SAT. But, BETTER prepare from NOW, and do the test when you are so ready and such an expert.</p>

<p>Believe me, I am such a wreck RIGHT NOW, and I believe, SOON ENOUGH, it’ll all come crashing down my head.</p>

<p>^So I guess you’re saying that Stanford is the college that doesn’t accept SAT subject tests before senior year?</p>

<p>^^^^^^^NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sweetheart, that’s NOT what I’m saying.
I’m saying that I NEVER applied to ANY of the Ivy League (colleges) because my parents have had their eye on some screwed up college since before I was born and I am FORCED to go into that college whether I like it OR NOT…WHICH I LOATHE. But, if I had ever applied to Stanford, I would have PROBABLY enrolled, because it’s people have brains, in contrary, to the people of that other college. You got it. Stanford is the good guy, that screwed up college is the bad one.</p>

<p>^Are you in undergrad or grad school right now?</p>

<p>An undergrad. (A senior who’s got the finals just an inch away.)</p>

<p>Okay. What are you majoring in? :D</p>
