<p>I've take the SAT a couple of times, and although im only going to send 2 test dates in can colleges see how many times i've taken them altogether???</p>

<p>Yes. The report you send contains your entire test history. Unless you opt for Score Choice (though many colleges do not honor this option), then everything is seen.</p>

<p>I think you can choose to create a new user. </p>

<p>For me, I　gap for a year and decide to take SAT for five times. So I will create a new user in college board</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you exercise score choice you can prevent certain tests from being released to a college by College Board. College Board then provides nothing to indicate you took that test.</p></li>
<li><p>A number of colleges, however, require you not to exercise score choice and send all scores.</p></li>
<li><p>Regardless of exercising score choice, the college could learn of all your scores because most high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript sent to colleges.</p></li>
<li><p>Depending on college, if you submit multiple scores, college will use either your highest subscores from multiple tests or that test with the highest composite to evaluate admission and lower scores will not be used against you. Thus, if you believe colleges are telling the truth, it makes no difference if you send all scores.</p></li>

<p>I hope Drusba’s statement #4 is correct. DS scores went DOWN this time. His strongest set is last May’s. Truly with UCs take his highest set from one sitting or will his drop this October make his application more “complex?”</p>

<p>Again it is something that you either believe or don’t believe, UCs expressly state that they will use only that test with highest composite to determine admission. This is one the issues of debate to which you cannot find a college that will state otherwise but, of course, you have to ask yourself the question: if UCs use only that test with highest composite, why the heck do they need all scores other than the one with the highest composite? Trying to get an answer to that question from the UCs (or any other college) that is not pure gobbledygook is difficult.</p>
