Is there any way to find my SAT scores from a few years ago? I didn't think I would need them, but now I'm applying to college and could use the info. Also, how long are SAT scores considered valid?
Yes, you can still access your SAT scores from a few years ago. To do so, you'll need to log in to your College Board account. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "My SAT" section, where you should be able to view and download your past SAT scores. If you are having difficulty accessing your scores or don't see them in your account, you can contact the College Board for assistance.
Now, regarding the validity of SAT scores, most colleges and universities have their own policies on how long they will accept SAT scores from the testing date. In general, test scores tend to be considered valid for around 5 years. However, it's essential to check with each specific college you're applying to, as their requirements may vary. Some institutions might have longer or shorter validity periods, or they might be more flexible when considering older scores.
