Ace the SAT to get a college scholarship

Here's an interesting tidbit from a recent article in The New York Times about SAT test preparation...

"The economy may be in freefall, but one industry that continues to look promising is SAT test prep....
The worse the economy gets, and the more families look to scholarships to offset the insane cost of college, the more important it becomes to ace the SATs."

Which SAT test should I take?

Here's the question and answer from the College Board Web site...

Which test should I take?

To find out which test(s) you should take, contact the colleges you are interested in attending or use our College Search to determine admissions requirements and deadlines. Most colleges require the SAT for admission and many other schools require both the SAT and Subject Tests for admissions purposes or placement. Additionally, some colleges require specific Subject Tests while others allow you to choose which tests you take. It's best to check directly with the college admissions offices.

If you're uncertain about your readiness to take a specific Subject Test, visit the Subject Test FAQ

Can I retake the SAT? Can I send my highest SAT Score?

A parent asked me if her daughter could retake the SAT.
The answer is "Yes." See here for more information.
But it's a myth that you can send only your best scores.
College Board, which runs the SAT, will send all the scores it has on file.
Here is some information from the College Board site

• We send a cumulative report of all scores that are available and reportable at the time your request is received. You cannot send only your latest or highest SAT scores, or separate scores for critical reading, mathematics, or writing sections, or only SAT, or only Subject Test scores.
• Only score reports from completed and scored tests will be sent to the colleges and scholarship programs you select. Scores from future tests for which you registered, but have not yet completed, will not be included. Check your My SAT to see which scores are available to send.
• Your scores are maintained on active file for one year after your high school graduation, or for one school year following your test date if you tested after high school. Please see Archived Scores for more information if you last tested before October 2002.
