This is a bit of a strange query. I took the SAT about 30 years ago, out of curiosity, is there any possible way to find my old scores. I thought it would be fun to compare them with my kid's.
Sure, it could be fun to compare scores and see how you both performed! Typically, the College Board archives SAT scores that are older than one year. Your scores should be available for request through their Score Reporting Services. However, because your SAT scores are considerably older (i.e., from 30 years ago) there's a possibility that the College Board may no longer have them on file.
To make a request, you'll need to get in touch with the College Board directly. You can contact their customer service either via email or phone and they will guide you through the necessary processes. Keep in mind there might be a retrieval fee depending on how much research they have to do to find your scores.
Remember, it's worth considering that the SAT has undergone multiple changes over the course of 30 years, so comparing scores might not provide a like-for-like assessment. Enjoy the process, it could be a fun exercise regardless!
