<p>i don't know the answer to your question, but i can tell you that 'a quick question' posted is no quicker than a regular question. because people still need to click on the thread link, read your question, and respond accordingly. :)</p>
<p>thanks fe all the help</p>
<p>SAT scores are valid 5 years.</p>
<p>I have heard some univs wont accept SAT scores older than 3 years. Check with your univ.</p>
<p>quick answer
IDK</p>
<p>I think they're valid for 2/3 years? Or I could be confusing them with the TOEFL :o</p>
<p>I do know one uni/college admin person I asked said they shred all the received SAT's from non-admitted applicants (or from ppl who send them, but don't apply to the school) in May. A pity cause I did the SAT winter2004/spring 2005 and sent them to some schools.. I think I just wasted a few bucks there, resending them this year.</p>
<p>in the american high school system, which is 4 yrs, colleges/unis usually consider all the SAT exams you've taken in your high school history, ESPECiALLY the subject tests.</p>
<p>but SATs? not much a deal with validity...if all are taken during school, fine! and if after graduation, chances are that you'll make use of them in 1 - 2 years:) </p>
<p>however, if in your case you took them sometime ago, and they were REALLY REALLY good, fine. but since the ADVENT of this new SAT, most collleges will require it for the class of 2011 and beyond since there won't be Writing in SAT2 anymore....</p>
<p>new scores are always helpful in any case but timing is always very important! from personal experience, aptitude for the SAT decays exponentially. try taking the SAT after college graduation, then 2yrs later, then 4yrs, etc to prove this, and see your scores:D</p>
<p>yeah, IzzyJ, TOEFL is 2yrs. and lol, yeah, they've got no choice but to discard stuff they don't need - and that means "anything" - otherwise they'll run into a serious shortage of storage space:D but chichra, my honest answer is:
"SAT scores are not a lifetime achievement. Approximately valid for 1.5yrs!!"</p>
<p>The College Board retains your test scores and your responses to the SAT Questionnaire on active file until June of the year after the school year in which you tested, after which the test scores only are archived.You can request archived scores to be reported to the schools. However, official score reports that are sent to colleges five or more years after a test date are accompanied by a message explaining that they may be less valid predictors of college academic performance than more recent scores. Besides, many colleges require only the new SAT (which was administered first in March 2005).</p>
<p>Actually i took them last year so i guess thats not a problem... just wanted 2 confirm... thanks fr all the help (no thanks fr the 'quick' reply)</p>
<p>SAT is 5 years.</p>
<p>sat is valid for 5 years at collegeboard . However at maximum colleges the validity is not beyond 2 yrs to most . Almost all officers wud like to have the test scores in 2 yrs and top colleges do place a full stop after it.</p>

<p>Just a question, Jrock...how do you make the accented "e"? I can never remember/figure it out. :(</p>
<p>I don't know how to do that on CC myself...i do it on MS Word [Ctrl+', E], and then copy it here. quite tedious, eh?!</p>
<p>you can just type Alt+0023.</p>
