托福的有效期是两年,这个一般的人都很清楚。但是SAT和ACT作为最重要的标化考试,到底有效期是多少时间?有家长会问。一般的回答是5年!到底对吗?
大家先猜猜看!做个选择题,在往下看,娱乐下!
首先,我在找到网上的专业解答,说这项考试是没有有效期的。想想也是,你考出来了,说明能力达到了干嘛要有有效期?具体英文看下面,明确说5年的有效期是GRE,GMAT和LSAT还有MCAT。

There is some misinformation regarding validity of test scores. SAT, SAT subject tests, ACT, PSAT, PLAN, AP, and IB scores never expire. Educational institutions reserve the right to establish policies regarding the length of time to allow the use of test scores for admission or scholarship purposes, usually two or three years, but this depends on the college or university. The scores themselves are still valid (by the testing agency) and exist forever. Testing agencies develop concordance tables to allow comparison between old scores and new scores after major overhauls or recentering. On the other hand, graduate and professional standardized tests like the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT, are reportable for five years and usually archived for up to ten years. Then the scores are erased from the testing agency archives and cease to exist.
我查阅了College board的官网,CB的官网根本没有明确表示截止有效期, CB表示你离开高中一年并且一年内没有考试的话,成绩会被存档。在官网上有一句说成绩超过5年会被说明有效性不高,所以,这个5年有效期可能这么来的。

Once you have left high school and have not tested for a year, we archive your test scores and your responses to the SAT Questionnaire. However, they can be retrieved for reporting to you and to the colleges, universities, and scholarship programs you choose.
Some older score reports include special notes or indicators:
Official score reports sent to colleges five or more years after a test date are accompanied by a message explaining that they may be less valid predictors of college academic performance than more recent scores.
Scores for tests taken on or after April 1, 1995, are reported on a recentered scale. An "R" next to your scores indicates this.
如果需要老的成绩可以的,但是费用不一样哦。31美金哦!
There is a score reporting fee for each report, plus an additional retrieval fee for processing archived scores.
到这里,你大概清楚一直有效和5年有校期的由来了吧。ACT其实类似的,也是没有有效期的。你看,这是ACT网站上明确描述的2017年9月1日以前的考试已经被存档,递送成绩需要38美金,而这个时间段以后的成绩,没有被存档,送分只需要13美金。

Processed within one week after your request is received, ACT delivers regular reports to colleges and agencies you've selected depending on their preferred schedule—at least every two weeks.
(effective through 8/31/2020)
Tested after 9/1/2017 - $13.00 per test date per report
Tested before 9/1/2017 - $38.00 per test date per report (includes a nonrefundable $25.00 archived scores fee)
· Once submitted, your request cannot be changed or canceled.
· If you tested before September 1, 2017, those scores have been archived. Archived reports cost $25 more per report and take an additional working day to process. This additional, nonrefundable fee covers the cost of searching for archived scores, even if no scores are located.
如果看到这里你以为结束了,那就太天真了!要这么简单我就不写文章了。
看学校要看好学校,我本能的翻了下哈佛的态度,它竟然这么说!!!!
SAT和ACT只有三年的有效期,你可以递送超过三年的成绩,不过最好提供3年内的成绩让招生官参考!

好了,有图有真相,不用争论了!到底SAT和ACT多长时间有效,你是听ACT和CB一直有效,还是坊间流传的5年呢?还是跟这个哈佛走,3年,随便你。
有图有真相,刨坑问底,你喜欢吗?再回去看看你选的答案,可以笑一笑了。喜欢可以去坑一下你周围的学生,留学资深人士了。哈哈哈哈!玩去吧!
