SATs don't go on your permanent record right?

If you take SATs in middle school they are not put onto your permanent SAT record right? This is what I was told but I want to make sure.

nope........they do not go on ur permanent record.........they are merely something that colleges use to evaluate students who have applied........

They use the SAT, to some degree, to decide whether the student will be accepted to their college or not....

They don't go on your permanent record at school, and any college board tests taken before the 9th grade are removed from your CB record when you reach 9th grade.

After 9th grade, any and all CB test scores will be on your SAT record.

No, you're wrong.

I just took the SAT (Oct. of my 9th grade year).

Colleges will see the score, but they'll also see the date, correct?

So they won't really take it into consideration?
