<p>With the ACT, you get to send each score to 4 colleges for free. Each additional college is $11. If you take the test a second time, the colleges you send the second scores to do not see the first scores. You have to pay another $11 per college to send each score report to each college. </p>
<p>This is different from the SAT. If you send a later SAT test score to colleges, they also see your earlier scores, unless you specifically tell College Board not to send the earlier scores. Therefore, you can pick different colleges for your second test date and you don’t have to pay additional money for those colleges to receive your first test score. </p>
<p>If you are applying to 8 or 10 colleges, this can add up to a sum of cash. It also is important because most colleges pick your highest scores from various test dates for admissions purposes.</p>
