<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I'm a current freshman and I'll be taking the SAT March 9th because I need to submit SAT scores to qualify for JHU's CTY. If I receive a low score, will it have any negative effect on me in the future (i.e. when I apply to colleges?) I was searching this up and one mentioned some top-tier schools require you report all scores you get during your high school years... is this true?</p>
<p>Thank you all :)</p>

<p>The scores stay on your record if you’re over 13 years old. Colleges will understand that you were only a 9th grader when you took it though, and if you get into CTY, it will look good on your application. My vote is that you go for it.</p>
<p>Not sure if this is true or they changed it, but I took the SAT twice in 8th grade, once in april/may and once in june the summer before freshman year and neither of those showed up on my final records.</p>
<p>As far as i’m aware of, if you’re taking it before you officially start High school, it doesn’t show on your records.</p>
<p>As long as you take it before you officially start high school you should be fine.</p>
