Know Your SAT & ACT Reporting Rights
Beginning with the March 2009 administration of the SAT, the College Board has changed its score reporting policy by introducing Score Choice. The new Score Choice policy, as this expert college counselor knows, means applicants can select which SAT and SAT Subject Test results are reported—and which ones aren’t. According to the official literature, this option will allow students to give students more flexibility and control over their scores. This college counselor recommends students look into whether their school is doing this. Students do have the opportunity to decide if their scores will be recorded on the transcript. This will be done on an all or none basis. If students choose to include their scores on the transcript, all scores (SAT, SAT Subject and ACT tests) will be reported. If a student’s choice is to not have their scores recorded on their transcript, they can take advantage of the College Board Score Choice option, or even choose to send no scores.
