Will Old SAT count in 2018?

Applying to College
1

<p>If I, a member of the class of 2018, Take the old sat in January 2016, will it count in 2018 when I apply to colleges?</p>

<p>I think at that point the test might have been in for so long they will expect people to have switched to a new one. That’s just a theory is all though I honestly have no clue, just ask College Board yourself. </p>

<p>I couldn’t find a specific answer from CollegeBoard, but it is implied by their answer to one of the questions found here: <a href=“About the SAT Suite – SAT Suite | College Board”>https://www.collegeboard.org/delivering-opportunity/sat/faqs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Question: “How will colleges compare scores on the redesigned SAT to scores on the current SAT?”</p>

<p>Answer: “The College Board will provide colleges with a concordance that shows how the two sets of scores compare.”</p>

<p>They’re going to have a concordance table to compare both versions of the test… So yes, the old SAT will, presumably, still be valid when you apply to colleges in 2018. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I think though colleges typically require standardized tests taken within 2 years of applying, IIRC.</p>

@payn4ward 's link is good. Right now, only Northwestern will not accept the old SAT for '18ers.
