Search
Item 21 on Side 2 o the paper Registration Form consists o
42 questions about you, your high school experiences and
your thoughts about college. While you do not have to respond
to the questions, we strongly recommend that you do. Your
responses give your counselors and college admission ofcers

you. (See below.)
Your responses provide inormation to the College Board thathelps us ensure that the SAT is a air and accurate test or all
students. Your answers to some questions (the questionnaire
identies which ones) will not appear on your score report butwill be used by the College Board or research and planning.
Your responses, when combined with those o all other studentstaking the SAT, contribute to an understanding o the academic
preparation, extra- and co-curricular involvement, and post-
high school plans o your graduating class, which can assist
colleges and universities to deliver programs and opportunities
to serve you and your classmates.
Condentiality
Institutions that receive your SAT scores and related data are
required to maintain condentiality o data and to adhere to
College Board guidelines or using inormation. Your answers
to Items 39 through 42 are not included on score reports to

Updating Your Data
I you register or the SAT again, you do not need to re-enter all the
questionnaire inormation. Be sure to update any responses that
may have changed. When updating, answer the entire question
your new answer will replace the old one. For example, i you
have taken calculus since the last time you registered or the SAT,you should list all math courses you have completed, including
calculus.
Note:You can update your SAT Questionnaire online or by calling
Customer Service.
