One of the first questions a college coach will ask a recruit is “What is you SAT score?”. The recruits answer could throw up some “Red Flags”.

POTENTIAL RED FLAG ANSWERS

• I am taking the test again.
• It was the day after my prom.
• I don’t do well on standardized test.
• I don’t remember.
• Looks at parents and says “Do you remember my score”

BEST ANSWER: Just give the score! More than likely the coach is just trying to figure out if you can get into the school. If you have a high enough level of play they may be able to ask admissions for an exception.
