I talked with someone over at National Merit today. He said they would be accepting SAT scores from June 6th, in case anyone was wondering about their potential validity.
Yes, tests from any months are acceptable from about sophomore year to Dec of senior year.
^I think the op is referencing the timing issue/problem that occured on that June SAT test and clarifying that those scores will not allowed for qualifying. Not the testing dates that generally be used.
Yes, the June 6th SAT test date was the one with all the problems. Two sections will not be counted, but the College Board has indicated that the scores should still be valid. I checked with the National Merit office and was told that the June 6th SAT scores will be accepted, despite the timing and scoring issues with the test.
