New Score Reporting Policy - Oct 08 Test?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I'm a high school junior (class of '10) and I registered for the SAT reasoning test in October for the first time. At first I registered with the intention of cancelling just so I could have the experience. However, the new score reporting policy has me wondering if I can have it graded without any harm.</p>

<p>CB's page about the new policy says that "students who have taken tests prior to the launch [in March 2009] can use the score-reporting feature retroactively," but then the rest of the page doesn't really discuss this issue further. </p>

<p>So if I take the SAT in October and don't cancel it, will I really have the option of not sending the score to colleges? I don't plan on taking the SAT I over and over, just 2 or 3 times, but I don't want one mediocre score to ruin my application (so far I've received 740 on biology E and 800 on world history, but I plan on retaking bio because I'm in AP now).</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Yes, you can choose what you want to send if you are class of '10.
But you must keep in mind, most colleges will still want to see all your scores.</p>

<p>yea, you can choose which ones to send but I heard you can't superscore or something..?</p>

4

<p>you cant superscore?</p>

<p>Can you imagine taking the SAT 3-4 times a year starting in 8th grade and using the Critical Reading score you got way back in 10 th grade and the Math score you got lucky on in 11th grade and take it 5 times in senior year and they'd never know? They can't be penalizing people for this now, as in they give some implicit rule that you'll be looked down upon if you don't send all your scores.</p>

<p>can someone posts a link to the new policy? from the cb website, all i can find is:"All available scores will be sent, including those from previous test administrations. You cannot send only your latest or highest SAT Reasoning Test scores, or separate scores for critical reading or mathematics or writing, or only SAT Reasoning Test or only SAT Subject Tests scores."
What is this new policy? and what's the rule on superscore? so confused?</p>

<p>New</a> SAT Score-Reporting Policy</p>

<p>Superscores have always been and will continue to be a decision made at the college level rather than by CB. The new CB policy means that you must submit all 3 scores from a test date. But then you have always had to do that. To get a superscore, you'll have to submit scores from multiple test dates. So far no indications that colleges will stop superscoring.</p>

<p>^ Thanks. I have been asking that question for a while, and no one can agree on any one answer.</p>
