I plan to take the sat in August after preparing throughout the summer. My school has a SAT testing day in the spring where I will take the essay. Can I use my SAT score from the fall with my essay from the spring? I only ask this because I don’t plan on prepping very much for the spring SAT and I expect to get high 1500s in the fall.
In general, no, unless the college says specifically that they do. But very few colleges require the essay portion any more.
So I will probably have to send them both scores if my fall SAT is higher than the spring? Will they hold it against me that my SAT lowered if it does?
No
