So, the College Board finally caught up with one really great aspect of the ACT… It used to be that you couldn’t choose which of your SAT scores to send to schools you’re applying to (which you could do with your ACT scores)—but no longer.
Starting in early 2009, there will be a new feature that allows you to selectively report your best scores to colleges. Did you tank it in October, but rock the test in December? Now, no one needs to know about that unfortunate October score...
The upshot of this is that you can RELAX a little on test day—no college will see that particular score, unless you decide you want to share it.
This option goes into effect for the March 2009 test. If you’ve already registered for that test, good news: you can revisit your registration info online and elect to use this feature, as soon as it rolls out.
You know what else is cool? Selective score reporting is going to work retroactively . . . Which means if you’ve already taken the SAT once or twice, and you don’t want to share every score, you don’t have to.
Call us if you have any questions about this. We’ll try to ‘splain it.
