Will ACT and SAT test scores from tests taken through NUMATS be reported to colleges when students apply to college later?
The testing agencies (ACT and SAT/College Board) do not retain test scores achieved through NUMATS participation prior to grade 9, and thus these scores are never reported to colleges. Starting in grade 9, the scores are retained and may be reported for college admission. However, when students ask the testing agencies to send ACT and SAT scores to colleges (usually in grade 11 or 12), they may withhold their grade 9 scores if they wish. While ACT has long held this policy, it is a change for SAT, starting with the class of 2010. Please check with the testing agencies for more information.
