Hi, everyone,

This SAT and ACT Tests & Test Preparation Forum and its subforums are visited by many college applicants, and some questions come up over and over and over and over, especially right after each round of test scores is released. I thought it would be helpful to forum participants to collect together some of the most Frequently Asked Questions and accurate answers to those questions into FAQ files that could be posted in a visible place here. For that project, I'd like to ask your help in nominating some of the most frequently asked questions here, and in nominating authoritative, accurate, clear answers to those questions, either from external weblinks or from helpful previous posts.

Some of my nominations are below. Yours are very welcome.
