SAT Questionnaire

Why the SAT Questionnaire Is Important to You

Your responses to the SAT Questionnaire are important for two reasons:

  • They give your counselors and college admissions staff information to use in assisting you with making future plans. The more information you provide, the more they can assist you.
  • They provide information to the College Board that helps us ensure that the SAT is a fair and accurate assessment for all students. Your answers to some questions (the Questionnaire identifies which ones) will not appear on your score report but will be used by the College Board for research and planning.

Updating Your SAT Questionnaire

If you register for the SAT again, you do not need to reenter all the questionnaire information. Be sure, however, to update any responses that may have changed. When updating, answer the entire question; your new answer will replace the old one. For example, if you have taken calculus since the last time you registered for the SAT, you should list all math courses you have completed, including calculus.
