New SAT Reporting Rules.......

Be Careful what you wish for! Starting with the class of 2010, the College board will give students the option of choosing which of their complete SAT scores to share with college admissions offices. This rule is similar to that of the ACT and it favors students who can afford to take the test as many times as possible. This policy will include the SAT and the SAT subject exams known as the SAT II. Please note--this new found freedom to choose can backfire as well. Colleges that consider the best sub scores will not be able to cherry pick the Math score from October and the Reading score from January. You must elect to send in scores from an entire test or exclude an entire test. Some schools which oppose this policy such as U.S.C. may still require full reporting as a condition of admission.
