<p>Btw, how do they expect that saying the scores will be posted "between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. ET." will ease the traffic? It just means there will be a flood at 6, which seems to me like it'd be worse.</p>
<p>That was my first though Delfire, because if not, I've completely lost any sense of respect I might have once had for collegeboard. As Slipstream said, it makes absolutely no sense for them to put the scores up in morning, instead of right now. They are still giving a time for people to check their scores, and their will still be many people obsessive enough to bombard the site the moment the scores are up. There'll be virtually no difference, except collegeboard will look like fools. Now, if they decided instead, to stagger the scores by putting up some now, some in two hours, etc, then that'd be slightly better. Or if they just put them up late tonight, it'd probably work even better (after all, there'll undoubtedly be many who don't believe CB and will check all night anyway...these people would then no longer need their scores, and the traffic in the morning would be much reduced).</p>
<p>No, it actually makes a great deal of sense. At 6am eastern, a time that most people in the east probably won't be jumping out of bed to check the scores, it will be 3am on the west coast. That allows them to stagger the traffic over a couple of hours instead of getting a ton of traffic at 4 pm eastern (a time that works for essentially everyone)</p>
<p>However-I am very irked about this stupid policy. Who cares if their serves go down...after I get MY scores of course!</p>
<p>yup i agree with amdandrew.. btw I think this change has really given the advantage to internationals (I am living in south east Asia) so that students can open their SAT scores without waiting til midnight hehehe..</p>
