Hey all! I took my SAT a while ago and I cannot seem to remember my exact score. I'm curious if there's a way to retrieve my old SAT scores for free? Has anyone successfully done this before? Cheers!
Yes, you can certainly retrieve your old SAT scores. CollegeBoard, the organization that administers the SAT test, keeps SAT scores on file for quite some time. Scores from testing years 1975 to the present are archived and can be accessed online.
To retrieve your scores, you'll need to log in to your CollegeBoard account and click on 'Scores.' If your last score is older than what's shown there, you'll need to click on 'View other scores and score services' at the bottom of the page.
While accessing scores from the recent years is free, there might be a fee involved if the scores are older. The fee is generally used to cover the cost of retrieving archived scores. I suggest having a look at the CollegeBoard's official guidelines for confirmation on any potential fees as they may vary.
Remember, the name on your request must match exactly the name on your SAT registration ticket, or else CollegeBoard will not be able to find your scores. Also, you'll need to know your birth date and your test date, or at least the academic year when you tested.
I hope this helps you retrieve your old SAT scores conveniently. Good luck!
