Hi Folks,
From what I can tell, we (MSU system schools) have new codes built in for these new scores (S12 instead of S02), but I'm not seeing that we've actively admitted anybody with these new scores yet; since they went into effect in March of 2016, most admitted students for Fall 2016 already had scores, so they hadn't taken any new ones. As we look towards admissions for Fall 2017, I would guess that we'll have more to go off of, and we will probably need to figure out if there's a difference in what the numbers evaluate to. If we are starting to bring in students under the new scores, we will add the S12 code and appropriate score levels to our math classes that have a test score option (M 105Q, M 121Q, M 151Q, M 165Q, M 171Q) before the first orientation session in June.
We have a flowchart that students use, along with some reporting out of DegreeWorks, and some incoming student information that will need to be updated if these math section scores change from the old to the new (but I haven't found any information leading me to believe that they've substantially changed the scores themselves).
I hope this helps a bit,
Jeff

Subject: New and Old SAT scores used as pre-requisites
Hi MACRAO
I’m reaching out to those who use Banner and list ACT or SAT scores as prereqs for courses (i.e. M 100 level classes might require that a student has a certain ACT/SAT score to participate).
How are you creating both the old and new SAT test scores in Banner under prereq restrictions (see screen shot below from SSAPREQ)? Are you using a new Test Code for the update SAT test or is there another work around that I’m not aware of?
Thanks for your insight.
