My D took the SATs at the beginning of 9th grade and scored a 2310 (old scale). She had to take the SAT again in 11th grade for NMS since the 9th grade test did not count as a qualifying test. She scored about the same on the second test (1580) and submitted them both for college admissions. I don’t know if that early test score stood out in any way in terms of college admissions.
