what's the validity of sat

<p>someone told me after two years my sat result is no longer valid, and others said it is five years, so.... ?</p>

<p>well it is five years!</p>

<p>Colleges typically follow a rule that you need to submit an SAT that is no more than five years old. The reason for that is because the testing agency, College Board, provides the warning that tests older than five years may no longer be reliable as a predictor of possible success in freshman year. The second rule followed is that colleges do not use for admission tests taken in 8th grade or earlier. There is no two year rule followed by any college. The only applicants that can possibly have an issue with the five year rule are those who do not apply for college until well after graduating from high school.</p>

<p>When I applied for transfer as a Junior, I submitted SAT scores that were 6 years old. They didn’t make me retake it, but then I wasn’t applying to be a freshman.</p>
