Hey there, I took the SAT quite a while back and I'm trying to find those scores again. Is there some sort of SAT score archive system or something? Or am I just out of luck? If you've been successful in retrieving old scores, any advice would be appreciated!
To retrieve your old SAT scores, you can request them directly from College Board. The mode of retrieval will vary depending on how old your scores are. If your SAT scores are from 1975 or later, you can view them online at the College Board website by logging into your account. If you don't have an account yet, or have forgotten the login details, you can create or recover your account, and view your scores in the "My SAT" section of your dashboard.
If the scores you need are from the years prior to 1975, they are archived and you will have to manually request them. There's a process called the "Archived (Historical) Scores Request Process" that you have to follow. It includes filling out and sending a form along with a nominal fee.
Note that according to the College Board, this may take a bit of additional time (up to 5-6 weeks for delivery of the scores). Make sure to plan accordingly if you are on a deadline to submit these scores.
I hope this helps in finding out your old SAT scores.
