Do things like your SAT score, or college board awards matter beyond college applications, and should they remain on a resume once in college? #Spring26

Josh’s Answer

Your resume will morph and change as time goes along. Your resume will go through different phases and should mirror your career as your career moves along. I would suggest to have SAT or college board awards on the resume if you see those as part of the requirements of whatever it is you are applying for.

Consider this similar to your high school diploma. At some point, the roles you are going for require a bachelors degree or higher. As that becomes the norm, you would drop your high school information and list just the bachelor degree.

Moving beyond the SAT/ College Board information, mirror the resume to reflect what's being asked for in the positions you are targeting. Best of luck!

Abhishek’s Answer

A resume should highlight a student's strengths, including their good grades, scholarships, and any awards they have earned. It should also show their enthusiasm through projects, competitions, and other contributions. Remember, SAT scores are only important for college applications and don't matter afterward.

Shaun’s Answer

No, they do not. You can remove them from your resume once you're in college. No one really looks or refers to them beyond the college application process.

Hi Edward! I completely agree with Shaun and recommend removing them from your resume. Your GPA is the element that will remain throughout college and beyond.
