Rule change gives students option to hide their lowest SAT scores

Recent changes to the SAT college entrance exam will give students in the class of 2010 and beyond the option to hide their lowest test scores while submitting to colleges only their high score, which for the wealthiest students often come after hours of expensive tutoring and retakes.

Under the previous rules developed by the New York-based College Board, all of a student’s scores were submitted regardless of how many times he or she took the test.
