Early Action and SAT/ACT

Test Preparation
1

<p>I find this on my early application:</p>

<p>Early Action
(for U.S. citizens and permanent residents only - deadline: November 1)</p>

<p>You must complete all standardized tests on or before the November test date.</p>

<p>So...If the deadline is Nov. 1st i have to have my application in/postmarked. </p>

<p>But...They take standardized test SAT/ACT scores from the november test even if it's (whatever the 18th or something)? OR NO?</p>

<p>Im confused?</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Just make sure you send a score report to the EA college on your answer sheet. If it says the November test date is OK, then you're fine.</p>

<p>The paperwork must be in by the 1st, but they will accept the results from the November test date. Most likely, the AdCom's don't read apps till December.</p>

<p>Thats what i figured, but i wanted to be sure.</p>

<p>Another question though. </p>

<p>From my tests in my freshman and sophmore year i was unsure of which college i planned on attending and nervous about sending scores that i wasn't proud of anyway.</p>

<p>So when i send my SAT I scores on my answer sheet this fall do they create a record of it at the college even if i don't have the app in yet? I know the collegeboard already has my past records including SAT II's , APs etc. Do they send my whole "profile" or do they send only the scores from that test? Will I have to have my SAT II's sent sepperately which means more score report fees?</p>

<p>They send the whole kit and kaboodle. All past SATs and SATIIs are included, from what I understand.</p>

<p>*Phew...(Sock wipes forehead beaded with sweat)</p>

<p>At $8 a pop that was gonna be ridiculous. 3 SAT II's X 4 colleges = $96. Plus the SAT and ACT charges this fall = $120 ish.</p>

<p>I imagine they also include past SAT's that are dated? I shouldn't bother cancelling or anything if they were from freshman year and if they take the highest anyways?</p>

<p>Have you gone to <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com&lt;/a> and checked your score report? It's under My SAT, Send Scores, and they list everything on your record. I heard they don't let you cancel scores anymore (you can in that 3 day window after the test). They'll take the highest, don't worry.</p>
