Can colleges see your previous scores?

Some people say college admissions can see your ex sat scores. How come? Is it true? Thanks!

You should look up what Score Choice is. Also, schools might have different policies regarding whether they superscore, or whether you’re supposed to send in all scores.

They can’t see your scores if you don’t send it to them, but some may require you to send all scores to them

If you exercise score choice and withhold a test score, College Board sends nothing to colleges about the test withheld. However, a different issue is what your high school does. Many high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript sent to colleges. Thus, if yours does so and you exercise score choice with College Board, the college will still get your score on the transcript and know that you attempted to withhold scores.
