SAT Question

While I"m waiting for a reply from the school counselor...I'll seek a quicker response from this forum. When the NCAA clearinghouse talks about SAT scores, are they adding up the three scores reading/math/essay? Or just the first two scores. It was my understanding that the essay was kind of experimental and didn't count. Just not sure whether we can add those extra points on son's SAT score or not. Thanks

I also heard the essay at this time doesn't count. But you never know.

If you add the essay, that should be spelled out somehow. Clearly a score over 1600 should tell one that the essay is part of the score, but if you scored 1580 for all three vs. the first two, then you are comparing someone who is average vs. someone who should go to Harvard, Stanford, and such schools. Best be honest, then you won't have to explain later when the truth comes out.

The Clearinghouse is still going by the first two segments

It would appear from the NCAA GPA/SAT scale that it was only the first two...but colleges are asking for all three on the questionaires. Happily, my 07 has qualified for the clearinghouse. That was my first concern.

The full SAT may be required for entry in college by the admissions dept--but they are not needed for the Clearinghouse

Keep in mind merely qualifying with the Clearinghouse does m not mean admission to the college of your choice

Most of the schools my hockey-playing son was looking at required the new SAT for all students who graduated in 2005 or later.
