I’m a 26 year old transfer student. I did re-take the SATs, but it proved to be a complete waste of time even though I did quite well. The college that accepted me, which I attend this Fall, Amherst College, advised me not to bother submitting them because I was a non-traditional student applying from community college. I know every university/college has different requirements, but this is how it went down for me.
Check what your state’s requirements are for substitute teaching. To substitute teach in NJ, you don’t need certification, you need the equivalent of an associates degree and the pass the background screening. I am not sure what other states require.
If you think you’ll get a better score, it’s worth it. But generally it’s for high school students. That’s mainly the material you’re tested over.
Getting a better score is only “worth” it if that better score is what gets you in. Seeing as how you won’t ever know this going in, and most schools I’ve spoken with do not seem to care that I’m submitting old scores, I wouldn’t hedge your bet on this one.
And to clarify, Stanford’s “official” policy is for you to have taken the new SAT. Off-the-record, the assistant admissions Dean said they wouldn’t care if I submitted my old results, as they view the whole application in context.
You better take SAT to make sure. I finished my College 3 years ago and i want to go back. So, i will apply in Community College. They told me to get SAT as Usual plus my Transcript. That’s all
