SAT scores do not have an official validity period. However, scores older than 5 years may be less indicative of your current academic ability. Most top universities like MIT, Harvard, and Yale still accept old scores, but some (like Stanford) prefer scores within 5 years. For best results, try to use scores from the last 2-3 years.
