<p>If you are taking the SAT on Oct. 9th, and the Free period to send out scores ends on Oct. 18th, is there a chance to see the scores before deciding to send them out??</p>
<p>What is the best way to be sure you only send out your "improved scores? Obviously, if my scores rose, I want to send the out. If not - I don't want them to go out.</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>
You won’t be able to view your scores before you use the free reports (this goes for any test date), so if you’re applying to colleges that do not require to see all scores, don’t use the free reports unless you’re at least moderately sure you’ll improve. If you’re not sure you’ve improved since last time then there’s no point in retaking the SAT anyway (or practice more). (And remember that some colleges superscore, meaning they’ll only look at your best from each section.) I’d say study hard now for the test, and between the 9th-18th, estimate whether you did well enough to send your scores (people often put up a consolidated list of answers in the SAT forums, against the rules–view at your own risk).</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>(people often put up a consolidated list of answers in the SAT forums, against the rules–view at your own risk)</p>
<p>So people try to put the Q with the correct A - so they can figure out their scores?</p>
<p>Why is this a visit at your own risk? Answers inaccurate or against the rules to look?</p>
<p>how much do we pay to send one score to one college?</p>
<p>@op: no, by the time the score comes out, you wont be able to change the colleges in which you want to send your free score reports</p>
<p>@oblivion- about $10 per university</p>
<p>so if you apply to 10 universities, and you’re going to send 3 sittings of Reasoning and 3 subject tests, would that cost $10 per test, meaning $60 * 10 = $600? Or $10 to send all scores meaning, $100 in total?</p>
<p>1 sending of scores will send all subject test and reasoning test dates, unless you use score choice to admit any particular date. So $10 to send all of your scores to one school.</p>

Yeah, people will work together to remember Qs from the test and propose an answer, and eventually try to predict their score. But I’ve disagreed with the consolidated list before, and I’ve also commented on those topics (so to answer your question, both). Technically it is against the rules to discuss any SAT questions outside of the testing room and our scores ‘could’ be canceled…but no one really follows that rule, especially since chances are very, very slim that the College Board can track us down through our usernames. Also, it doesn’t violate any moral code since everyone starts the test at the same time.</p>
<p>I’m a junior right now… should I use my free period to send out scores? Or should should I wait until my senior year?</p>
