It was my understanding that most colleges want an SAT score taken more recently than the 8th grade. I believe they desire one in the last two to three years but not sure, perhaps others can comment.
In conversations with HS guidance counselors, posts on College Confidential regarding admissions, and chats with a few college, no one has expressed this requirement. None of the college admission requirements sites I checked has such a constraint.
NMSQT does look to have a requirement for a supporting SAT score for award - some time between October 10th grade and December 12th grade.
