The College Board, the provider of the SAT, gives families complete discretion regarding any voluntary information they provide. Either before or on test day, students will complete the Student Data Questionnaire (SDQ) on your answer sheet. The SDQ consists of some basic information about them (name, school, grade level, state student ID, sex, and date of birth) that is required to identify their test and provide a score report, along with optional questions regarding them and their interests. Information gathered from the optional questions will be used for a variety of purposes, including analysis to ensure that the exams are fair for all groups, group reporting, to connect you with potential colleges or scholarship opportunities, and research.
Much like other opt-in/opt-out services you have access to through authentication using your ParentVUE account, you can also opt-in/out for your child's College Board Consent services.
These services include:
- PSAT10 Student Data Questionnaire
- SAT Student Data Consent
Note: If you are interested in seeing how to opt-in/out of specific state testing accommodations, please check out our guide here.
