It varies state by state but most states do have an expiration date for SAT scores due to the fact as one assessment director said after a period of time " After three years, if you don't use it, you lose it," Some states give you up to five years before they expire. For more on this and how it affected one student who did well on his SAT scores, see

At the site for Fulbright Romania at http://www.fulbright.ro/educational-advising-center/49-testing/97-sat.html SAT scores are said to be good for five years. Even though when contacted schools send the SAT scores to colleges, after a certain period of years they will be accompanied with a note saying the validity of the scores may no longer be valid for that individual so many years down the road.
