SAT Scores Out Now!

Today the March 14 test scores are being reported online. Please be sure to visit the College Board website to see how you or your student performed.

Along with the score news, this is the first month that Score Choice will be implemented. Score Choice gives each applicant the option to choose which scores to send to colleges in accordance with that school’s specific score-use practice. Colleges and universities that participate in this program will only receive the scores that are selected, and they will not be released without specific consent. It is important to verify with each institution’s admissions office to make sure which method they utilize and prefer.

For more information, please visit: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/score_choice.html?CampaignID=4267 We recommend taking the Score Choice tutorial. It is an easy way to learn how to navigate through the College Board site and see which schools are participating in the new program.

Along with the regular SAT Reasoning scores, please investigate whether or not each specific school or intended major requires you to take the SAT Subject Tests. A lot of students waste time worrying about these exams, when most schools do not require them. It is always wise to check with an admissions representative from the prospective college in order to find out if any SAT Subject Test is needed.

Lastly, it is imperative that each student sign up for their AP Exams in May. Most have probably already begun studying for these tests, but if you have not, start now! In these tough financial times, doing well on these AP exams could help pay for free college credits earned before a student even attends their school of choice.
