If Castro graduated in 2005, he would’ve taken the SAT’s way before Spring of that year when the SAT test changed. It’s offered to Juniors beginning in the Spring so the scores can be forwarded for their college apps. IIRC, students could take SAT’s up to 3 times if they wish to improve their scores.

NO IT IS NOT! My son is a junior and has never taken the SAT. Juniors are given the ACT. When I asked my son about the SAT he told me ONLY Seniors are given the SAT and that is done in the spring of their senior year.

His score of 1340 out of 1600 would be considered outstanding to most colleges, perhaps with the exception of the Ivy Leagues.

Irrelevent, since he probably scorred 1340 out of 2400. It is the ACT scores that are sent on to the colleges. I know because we have been inundated with college material. Since my son's ACT scores came in. He scored 33 out of 36. He's in the top 1% and is being courted by the 'Ivy League'.

The rules have evidently changed since the late 90’s when our son went to Stanford. By Spring of Senior year the college testing was (thankfully) behind them as they awaited news of college acceptance.

Good luck with your boy.
