<p>I removed one and a dropdown popped down saying that I was breaking their recommended sending policy. Is that new this year by collegeboard, and they'll know?</p>
<p>Simply put, no</p>
<p>That should not be the case. Maybe. But from my knowledge they would not know</p>
<p>In fact, they don’t know, but it’s your decision…</p>
<p>If the colleges you apply too require sending all SAT scores, you should send all SAT scores regardless of whether they would find out or not by looking at the report. Why take a chance and even more importantly, Why be dishonest?
If the college allows Super score or Score Choice than use your own discretion. </p>
<p>If a college requires all scores, don’t lie and send in only one. My SAT teacher told us that if you do that, there’s no technical way for colleges to find out - it’d just be on your own conscience. But if you score choice, colleges can see that it’s coming from multiple tests. (Not sure how true that is)
And if you break policies, I know schools like Yale threaten to rescind admission (if caught). So don’t risk it. Be honest.</p>
<p>The message you got is not a new one, CB has long let you know that the college for which you are ordering scores wants all scores if you try to exercise score choice. As to the college finding out whether you withheld a score, CB does not send any information to show that a test was withheld or that the withheld test was even taken, contrary to what is surmised above. As to whether a college will find you out, you should check with your high school to determine what it puts on your official high school transcript it sends to colleges. Many put all your test scores on that transcript. If your high school does so, the transcript will be the evidence the college gets to show you wihheld scores if they are not on the report received from College Board.</p>
