Seventh Grade SAT Scores

<p>My daughter took the SAT through Duke Tip in January. Scores are up now, but I don't see how I get her scores. We registered through TIP so we don't have a College Board account. Does anyone have any insight or previous experience?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If your daughter is under 13 like mine, she can not get a College Board account and you will have to wait until they are mailed. Mailing starts next Friday I believe. If she is 13, you can set her up with an online account but I don’t know that it will tie back into her scores after the fact.</p>

<p>Last year, my then 7th-grader also took the SAT through TIP and we had to wait until the scores came in the mail. We couldn’t get them online like we could with our older daughter who took the SAT through college board.</p>

<p>My D2 is in 7th grade and did SAT through TIP in Dec. 2008. She could not get College Board account, either. However, you can call College Board. They will give you the scores (but not the percentiles) at no charge for 7th graders (normally they do charge). When you call, they will ask you your kid’s ID, your name, address and a few other questions to make sure they give the scores to the right people. </p>

<p>The phone number to call is (866) 756-7346.</p>

<p>Just call,I did and they gave me without charge.</p>

<p>for examples of past self-reported scores.</p>

<p>Like the poster above said, call and they will wave the charges since D is less than 13.
My 13 year old just called form school, where he looked up his scores. He is 13 now so he did even register online for this SAT.</p>

<p>Don’t you find it troubling that talent searches want the test every year now?</p>

<p>Yea, you have to wait till they are mailed or you can call them up.</p>

<p>Not true of JHU/CTY. They do require that students who may have qualified for their programs using the SCAT in elementary school take the SAT or ACT in seventh grade to qualify for the program for older kids, but once is enough for each test: SCAT or SAT/ACT.</p>

10

<p>CTY still only requires re-testing once, and that’s at the 7th grade level. According to their website, anyway.</p>

<p>crossposted with consolation, who explained it much better.</p>

<p>RMTS wants testing every year, even if you have qualifying scores :(</p>

<p>Actually, I signed her up for a College Board account by originally making her a year older than she is. Then when I got to the screen to put in her registration number I put in the correct birthdate.</p>

<p>It was all for naught, though, because they weren’t up yet. I’m going to check back tonight.</p>

<p>Well, numbers are posted under her account but it says her score report isn’t ready. Are those her actual numbers? The math is better than I expected (by far), but the Writing and Verbal are off.</p>

<p>Be careful about letting your kids take SATs as 6th or 7th graders. It can be bad for your self-esteem. My 6th grader scored higher than I did as a high school junior. Ouch.</p>

<p>^^lol, same here laxtaxi</p>

<p>My daughter took the test through Northwestern Center for Talent Development. She took it in Jan 2010. I just registered online today, Feb 13, at the College Board site - and after entering her ss# and registration # - from the sat registration paper form - was able to retroactively access her scores from the jan 23 test. So if you don’t want to wait for the paper scores, go to the college board site and register and you can access the results today.</p>

<p>It can be used effectively to start a “during my days things were so rough that …” anecdote. You can follow that up with a note about inflation - gas used to be 50 cents a gallon, twelve grand wasn’t a bad starting salary, gold was under a hundred bucks, and the DOW was 3 digits.</p>

<p>Middle school SAT, courtesy CTY, where DS scored an 800 in math at age 10, and beating adults in chess tournaments by third grade were two major events that shaped his personality and interest. Going to the Lehigh Valley ARML team in high school:
<a href=“http://www.lehigh.edu/~dmd1/arml.html[/url]”>http://www.lehigh.edu/~dmd1/arml.html&lt;/a&gt;
and finding himself as being below average in math in a team of 15 was probably his most important lesson.</p>

<p>Yes, I have always been grateful that I grew up in ACT country. She did beat my husband’s scores, though.</p>
