<p>I am an upcoming senior and I'm kind of confused with what to do with myself. I haven't taken the SAT but I've taken multiple mocks from the blue book/from an SAT course and I average a ~1700 (planning on taking the SAT on October). I only took 2 AP's in my junior year Psychology (5) and Chinese (4). For my senior year I'm planning on taking 3; AP US History, AP World History, and AP Chemistry. I feel like I messed up by not taking the courses I should've taken in my junior year. My cumalative GPA is a 3.7/4.0 and I'm planning to go to school in Canada. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself and kind of confused if I can even get accepted anywhere in Canada.
All this above is just background information for my question.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As a senior how many SAT's can you take before you need to send in your scores to colleges (latest date)? (GENERALLY SPEAKING).</p></li>
<li><p>Since you apply for college before your AP scores come in what happens? Do the school receives the scores earlier, and what do I do if I want to send multiple reports to 3-4 schools? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for reading. </p>
<p>I believe there are four SAT dates, one in October, November, December, and January, but I personally wouldn’t advise taking all four. Take the earliest and if you don’t like the scores, take it one more time. There will likely not be much fluctuation in the scores unless you just had a bad day on one of the testing days. </p>
<p>As far as AP goes, yes, the scores are sent during the summer between high school and college and no, the schools do not get them earlier, just more directly. This actually makes life a lot easier. By the AP Testing weeks in the beginning of May, you’ll already know which college you’re going to (most colleges require your decision by May 1st). This means that you send your scores to one college, the one you’re going to attend, and they’ll give you credit if the scores are up to their standards. </p>
<p>I am saying all this with absolutely no knowledge of how the university systems work in Canada. I would expect they are similar to the US but double check everything and make sure their dates correlate with the testing days. </p>
<p>I think the most important thing to do is to check the faculty requirements: see what they require and if you have those things. I think you can have the SAT and AP scores sent directly to your universities of choice (you have to find out their institution code, which should be somewhere on their prospective student site).</p>
<p>For the SAT, I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure that you’ll get at least 2 chances if not 3 if you’re doing regular decision.</p>
<p>AP scores are self reported on your application, so you can only send in junior scores when you apply. When you get accepted and decide where you want to go, you’ll have gotten your senior scores and they will be able to get you credit when you send your official score report (but they won’t be considered in admissions). Colleges will see that you’re taking the AP classes though as they check your senior year schedule.</p>
