Do schools know if you use SAT score choice?

<p>Will they ever know if I use it?</p>

<p>The College Board’s PDF file outlining the layout for electronic score reports shows no field that informs colleges that a student is using the Score Choice option. But if a college requires that all test scores be submitted, hiding a score is risky. If the college discovers the deception, admissions officials will not be favorably impressed. One way they might find out: the dates students take admissions tests and the scores they receive are often included in high school transcripts.</p>

<p>are subject tests always score choice-able? b/c if a school only requires 2, do you really have to send all 6 you’ve taken and/or screwed up on? I’m in trouble if that’s not true b/c I thought you could choose those</p>

<p>If you use Score Choice, you can, of course, select the Subject Test scores you want a college to see. If you don’t use Score Choice, all your scores are reported. What a college does when it receives more scores than it requires is up to the individual institution. In the case of the SAT Reasoning Test, most colleges consider the highest score you earn. In the case of the Subject Tests, my guess is most colleges will also consider only the tests with your highest scores, but you would have to contact a particular institution to make sure. The College Board has a list of colleges’ score-use practices, but the list relates only to use of Reasoning Test scores.</p>
