2010-11 SAT and SAT Subject Test calendar

SAT and SAT Subject Test Score Choice

• List of colleges and their policies regarding multiple SAT scores
  

Important update: as of March 2009, students can choose which SAT scores to report to colleges (just as they can do currently with the ACT).  They can also withhold certain SAT Subject Test scores.  Read the official College Board announcement.

• Students will be able to select which scores they send to colleges by sitting (test date) for the SAT and by test for SAT Subject Tests™.
• Scores from an entire SAT test will be sent—scores of individual sections from different sittings cannot be selected independently for sending.
• Students can send any or all scores to a college on a single report—it will not cost more to send one, multiple or all test scores.
• Students will be instructed to follow the different score-reporting requirements of each college to which they apply.  Some colleges may still require students to submit their scores for all SATs taken.
• Students who complete a test prior to the March 2009 launch of the new score-reporting feature will be able to take advantage of this option when sending past or future scores.
• Recent articles noting that some colleges will still require applicants to submit ALL scores:
• (New York Times, 1/ /09)
• "Seniors Will Pick SATs to Submit" (Harvard Crimson, 1/9/09)

SAT Subject Tests: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/about/SATII.html

These are the tests that many students and parents don't know about -- until the fall of senior year, when they suddenly realize that they have to take two or three of them to complete their applications to selective colleges.  (Consult this chart to determine which colleges on your list require or recommend SAT Subject Tests.)  Panic and low scores (or scores that do not reflect the student's full potential) result. 

Students should not wait until senior year to take all of their SAT Subject Tests; they should consult with their classroom teachers and guidance/college counselors during sophomore and junior years to plan an appropriate schedule for taking the SAT Subject Tests in the subjects that best showcase their academic strengths.
