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.

Thanks.

I went looking for more info and most of it is confusing. Some sites say they offer 7 monthy testing dates. I have to say that our schools have never offered the SAT test 7 times a year. I'm thinking that the school offers 1 and that if a student wants to retest they can, but I would imagine they have to make those retesting arrangements on their own.

I think a lot of changes like the frequency might be for monetary changes. Why double up these tests which cost money for the states?

From what I have been reading, most colleges don't even use the SAT anymore.

My nephew just graduated college and said it went mostly by ACT scores and GPA.

I would imagine each state may handle things differently, anyway.

My son wants to go into bio-medical engineering.
