<p>I know they don't release your scores without permission, but after my son took his SAT's he started receiving college promotional info that inferred that he did well on his tests. </p>
<p>Does College Board release info that says someone scores fall into certain ranges?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any insight.</p>
<p>Did he take the PSAT?</p>
<p>Colleges ask for mailing lists of colleges in certain score RANGES. College Board sells those lists for a price, and colleges pay up to target their promotional literature.</p>
<p>Foil, yes, my son did take the PSAT. I thought that colleges somehow got an idea of those scores.</p>
<p>Thanks, Tokenadult. I thought that's how it might work with College Board.
My daughter didn't score as high as my son on her SAT's, and received mailings from different tier schools.</p>
<p>There's a checkbox on the registrations for PSAT and SAT, I believe, that says you want to recieve mailings. A lot of kids check that (or don't uncheck it) inadvertently. And then the deluge begins.</p>
