Old and New SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Aright well i got an 800 M and 730 V on the old SAT. I was wondering if the old sat math and verbal scores will carry over. For example, if I get a 780 M on the new SAT, will it be replaced by my 800 M from the old one? Specifically, I'm curious as to Yale's, Harvard's, Princeton's, Stanford's, and MIT's admissions policy regarding this situation. Thanks.</p>

<p>stanford:</p>

<p>For students applying for fall 2006, we will accept a student's highest individual verbal/critical reading score and math score from either the former SAT I, the new SAT Reasoning Test, or a combination of the two exams.</p>

<p>Harvard said will take any of the highest individual scores (V/M/CR),
from old or new SAT I.</p>

<p>any ideas about yale and princeton?</p>

<p>Princeton: see

<p>Yale: will take either old/new SAT, with a recommendation for the new SAT.</p>

<p>Yale admit website says:</p>

<p>Note: Applicants graduating from high school in 2006 are encouraged to take the new SAT. However, we will accept scores from either the old or the new SAT (or both).</p>

<p>so does that mean Yale, like Harvard and Stanford, will take the highest of any individual scores from either the old SAT or the new one?</p>

<p>what if you get a 800M in the old SAT and a 600M in the new SAT? will they just say, 'oh, well he got an 800M on the old SAT' and leave it at that? just a hypothetical situation...very unlikely but still is possible!</p>

<p>To Social's Q:
The info is not spelled out at Yale's website.
You probably need to email them directly.</p>

<p>Though "generally speaking", based on info from HS Guidance counselors,
colleges do take the highest indiv V/M/CR/W scores, from different testing dates.</p>
