Do you have to take the sat to get into college?
All colleges in the U.S. that require admissions exams as part of the admissions process will take either the ACT or the SAT. The two tests are very different, so it would be worth your time to consider the ACT as well. Almost all colleges list their admissions requirements on their websites, so one of your first steps should be to check the admissions requirements and then decide which test to take. Some students take both tests. With the ACT, you can opt not to report scores to colleges until you see the scores. If you retest and get a higher score, you can choose to only report the second set of scores to prospective colleges. Also, most colleges don't require a writing score. The ACT's writing test is optional. That's another reason to check the college's requirements first. The SAT does not have a Science test--the ACT does. The ACT tests higher math (there are a few trigonometry questions) but the Math Test only counts for 25% of the composite score rather than a third for the SAT's math section.

Where can you find lost sat scores?
I had the same problem until today. I took my SATs before 2002 and have no existing record of my score. I searched the SAT website and was unable to get any information from them. I finally decided to contact the high school I attended when I took the test and they were able to provide me the information. My score was not readily available because of how long ago I took it, but they maintain the information in secure long term storage.
I suggest contacting your school.

Minimum sat score to get into duke?
No single SAT score is "needed," although one might want to consider that the middle range of SAT scores for Duke in Critical Reading is 690-770, and the middle range for Math is 690-780. Generally, being within that middle range of SAT scores is a good bet. However, it's important to keep in mind that SAT scores are not the only thing that a college looks for in an applicant. Having perfect scores won't guarantee one admission, nor will having less than perfect scores keep one from being accepted.
