Opposing view: Score Choice helps everyone
New policy gives students a break if they have a bad day on test day.

By Laurence Bunin

The College Board, owner of the SAT, recently launched Score Choice, a feature that allows students who take the SAT more than once to select which SAT scores to include with their college application.

The SAT's previous one-size-fits-all policy of automatically sending all scores to every college isn't consistent with the reality that different colleges use scores differently. All colleges establish their own admissions policies, and today, many colleges don't require all test scores. It's worth noting that colleges cannot "accept" or "reject" Score Choice; instead, it's an optional feature for students. The SAT doesn't release scores to colleges without student permission. Students are expected to follow the score-reporting requirements of the colleges to which they apply.
