The Great Naviance Score Hunt: A Guide to SAT Score Shenanigans
“When does College Board send my precious SAT scores to Naviance? I need to see those numbers! They’re like my academic trophies!”
Ah, the age-old question that haunts every high school senior. It’s like a game of “Where’s Waldo?” but instead of a striped shirt, you’re looking for those elusive SAT scores in Naviance.
Let’s break down the facts, folks (and maybe add a dash of humor for good measure):
- Naviance isn’t Santa Claus: They don’t magically deliver your SAT scores to colleges. Gasp! The College Board is the one who handles this crucial task. Think of it like a fancy delivery service for your academic achievements.
- The College Board’s “Score Delivery Service”: When you take the SAT, you get your scores within a few weeks. But wait, there’s more! The College Board then sends those scores to the colleges you’ve chosen within a mere 10 days. So, basically, it’s like a lightning-fast delivery service, but with less pizza and more pressure.
- The College Board’s “Score Delivery Service” (Part 2): So, your scores are on their way to colleges. Now you’re wondering, “When will Naviance show my SAT scores?” Well, Naviance doesn’t receive your scores directly from the College Board. They’re more like the score-receiving mailbox for your high school. It’s a bit like that game of telephone, where the message gets distorted along the way.
Here’s the “When Does Naviance Get Your Scores” Breakdown:
- The College Board delivers your scores to your high school’s Naviance account. This can take a few days to a week.
- Your high school will then upload your SAT scores to your Naviance account. Again, this can take a few days to a week.
- Finally, you’ll see those glorious numbers on your Naviance account.
So, How Long Does It Really Take?
- Worst-case scenario: 10 days (College Board to your high school) + 7 days (your high school to Naviance) = 17 days.
- Best-case scenario: 10 days (College Board to your high school) + 1 day (your high school to Naviance) = 11 days.
- Important Note: The College Board sometimes sends scores to your high school a day or two before they’re released to you. This is like a sneak peek for your guidance counselor, who can then celebrate (or commiserate) with you about your score.
How to Check Your Scores in Naviance:
- Log into your Naviance Student account. You know, the one with the adorable cartoon characters and the endless college lists.
- Head over to the “Colleges” section. You’ll find a list of all the colleges you’ve been researching and/or applied to.
- Find the “Apply to College” tab. This is where you’ll submit your applications and see your test scores.
- Click on the “Test Scores” tab. This is where the magic happens, and your SAT scores will appear.
- Click on the “Highlight” button. This will show your scores in a more prominent way.
A Word of Caution:
- Naviance is not an official source for your SAT scores. The real deal comes directly from the College Board. Naviance is simply a convenient place to view your scores and see which colleges have received them.
- If you’re in a hurry to see your scores, check the College Board website first. You can find your scores there within 10 days of taking the test.
