<p>In other words, can I submit my applications to colleges, and then send my test scores after, say, couple weeks or months later?</p>
<p>Yes. Just indicate on your application that your scores are pending and that the college should be receiving them within a certain ETA. I’m assuming you’ve taken the test but just haven’t sent your scores yet.</p>
<p>If you haven’t actually taken the tests yet, I think on the common app you can indicate a test that you’re GOING to take but haven’t yet. That said, if you haven’t taken the SATs even once yet, you probably should before applying to colleges so that you know where you stand.</p>
