Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Rhode Island SAT® School Day administered in spring 2023 is part of the Rhode Island State Assessment Program. SAT scores are used by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) for school and district accountability purposes. RIDE adheres to all federal and state data privacy laws and does not release student data to third parties, including colleges or universities. Parents/guardians and students have control over the release of the Rhode Island SAT School Day scores to colleges and universities. If students and parents/guardians want the SAT scores from Rhode Island SAT School Day to be sent to colleges or universities, they must explicitly request a score send from College Board.
1. Four Free Score Sends: For the Rhode Island SAT School Day, students will receive four free score sends. Students will be able to enter their four free score sends in the digital
testing platform prior to or on test day.
2. To send additional scores (beyond what is identified on the answer sheet) students must have a College Board account. If a student has not yet created an account, they can visit collegeboard.org/mysat to create one and then select each college or university where they
want scores sent. Requests over the four free score sends, or requests submitted after the makeup day, are $12.00 each.
3. How to Use Score Choice: Students who took the SAT multiple times (including the Rhode
Island SAT School Day) have the option of using Score Choice (sat.collegeboard.org/
register/sat-score-choice).
- Score Choice allows students and parents/guardians to choose which SAT score (by test date) to send to colleges or universities
- It is up to students and parents/guardians to investigate college or university policies regarding admission procedures related to SAT scores in order to determine which scores are needed.
4. To cancel SAT scores from the Rhode Island SAT School Day administration: Complete a Request to Cancel Score Form, which will be distributed on test day or can be downloaded from ride.ri.gov/sat. Fax your signed request to 610-290-8978 or send by overnight mail to SAT Program, Score Cancellation, 1425 Lower Ferry Road, Ewing, NJ 08618.
- The deadline to completely remove scores is 11:59p.m. ET, four days after the student takes the SAT.
- SAT scores from the Rhode lsland SAT School Day will still be used by RIDE for school and district accountability purposes.
5. Student Search Service": Students may choose to opt in to Student Search Service, which is free to students, though education organizations pay College Board a licensing fee to use the service.
6. Providing Information: Before testing, students will be asked to complete some questions in the digital testing platform. Some of these questions are required by College Board to verify the student's identity and to ensure that scores are received, and others are optional. RIDE will provide to College Board the student's first and last name, date of birth, and state student identification number. Students will be required to provide their testing location. These are the required demographics necessary for scoring. To see the complete Student Questionnaire, visit ride.ri.gov/sat.
