If you’re looking for information on how to register your child for the SAT, here are the key details:
The Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) was discontinued when the SAT moved to its digital format. Instead of QAS, all students now receive a score report that includes:
Whether each question was correct/incorrect/omitted
Subscores for Reading, Writing & Language, and Math
General performance feedback, but not the exact test questions
Access your scores online through your College Board account at studentscores.collegeboard.org. Once you’re signed in, your most recent score will appear at the top of the page.
Click See Score Details to download and print your score report. Score reports include detailed, personalized insights that students can use to improve future performance. In addition to showing section scores, they show subscores which break your performance into specific skill categories, like:
Command of Evidence
Words in Context
Algebra
Advanced Math
Problem Solving & Data Analysis
The SAT score report pinpoints content areas where you’re strong or weak. There are four content areas in Reading and Writing and four in Math. For each content area, you’ll see:
While the SAT score report provides a helpful overview, its content areas are too broad to create a precise study plan. Ivy League Tutoring’s custom error logs offer more detailed insights by breaking down exactly which question types fall under each general category. This allows students to target specific areas for improvement with greater accuracy and efficiency.
The SAT registration fee includes four free score reports to send to colleges, and additional score reports can be sent for an additional fee.
Online score release dates are available here.
“Superscoring” is when a college takes the highest sub-scores from various test dates to a get a new higher “Superscore,” also known as “Highest Section Scores Across Test Dates.” Superscoring allows for the fact that students do not always perform at their best on any one given test date. This scoring approach is used widely by most colleges across the U.S. College Board lists the individual SAT score policies of all colleges here.
College Board also offers a score reporting service Score Choice which allows students to pick and choose, in accordance with a college’s score-use policy, which scores to send to colleges. This allows students more control over and how and when colleges receive their scores. If a student opts not to use Score Choice, all test date scores will be sent to colleges. Most colleges accept superscoring but you should check with each college you’re applying to for its individual policy. This information is usually available on the college’s admission pages. If not, you can call the college’s admissions office.
