I saw in the paper’s recommendations to return to standardized testing that scores are used in placement if scores are provided after admission.
As an aside, last year the UC portal would accept self-reported SAT scores for meeting a requirement, but would only take subscores from the paper SAT, whereas the digital version was not yet approved and does not report these same types of subscores. Since the test has only been available in digital form since March 2024, I’m wondering if they ever got around to approving the digital test. I can’t find the UC admissions page this was on.
