The SAT experience includes four score reports which can be sent to your choice of schools. (Yikes? Not really. More like, Yes!) If you want to send out more reports to more schools, you can do so for a nominal fee. Check the College Board website at www.collegeboard.org for current prices. You can request additional score reports when you sign up for the exam, when you take the exam, or after the fact. At the time of this writing, your scores are good for five years.

After you get your SAT scores, you can order a Question and Answer Service, which shows each question from the exam, which answer you selected, and if applicable, the correct answer. There is a small fee for this, and the fee waiver may apply. If you are planning to retake the SAT, you absolutely must order this service: It’s like turning on a light to see your exam performance. The bad thing is that this service isn’t available for some tests, but the good thing is that it is free with your PSAT, so use that!

Score reports arrive in your mailbox and at your high school about five weeks after you take the test, and in your email about a week sooner. The College Board usually posts on its website the date that the test scores will be available.

Last thing. Be sure to create a free College Board account at www.collegeboard.org, where you can check your scores and register for the SAT, PSAT, and any SAT Subject Tests. Here, along with your score, you can find how well you did in comparison to everyone else who took the exam when you did. You can also immediately access the Question and Answer Service and get right to the questions.
