<p>ok,, here's the problem,,,when i registered for my March 14th test, I added 4 colleges of my choice to the "Send scores to" list (So as soon as the March14th SAT score comes out, it automatically gets sent to these colleges). and I have a horrible feeling that my score's gonna be ugly and I don't want these colleges to see my score,,,is there anyway I can delete these colleges off my list? (I've searched everywhere on the collegeboard website) should i call ETS??? Is it too late??????? please help :(</p>
<p>if you thought you did horribly, then cancel the test and retake it.</p>
<p>lol calm down just cancel your recipients by logging into your account
in “my organizer” click on the “my tests” tab then under SAT choose “change recipients”</p>
<p>@ yettiddqq8, the thing is,because of the new policy,I don’t want to cancel my score,ii actually wanna see how i did (without these colleges knowing what I got)</p>
<p>@ pigs<em>at</em>sea,I’m relieved lol,still got 9 days left to change my score recipients,I clicked on the “my tests” tab,but nowhere does it say “change recipients” :S,if you could explain it in greater detail,I’d really appreciate your help :)</p>
<p>hmmm i’m sure it’s there
do u see the box that says “MY SAT”?
it’s in that box under the to do list</p>
<p>oh found it…but then after,it only shows me my previous SAT subject test scores (which i did last year october) and also this:
You have 9 day(s) to add or change recipients for your March 2009 scores. Just click “update Score Recipients” next to your test. "</p>
<p>but I can’t find “update Score Recipients” ANYWHERE :(!!! please help!! :(</p>
<p>do colleges actually care about your scores before you even apply to them? lol honestly.</p>
<p>Yes they do</p>
<p>with superscore and score choice is it really that big of deal?</p>
<p>superscore choice??? From what I’ve read,beginning in March, colleges won’t be choosing the best superscores,that policy’s changed</p>
<p>i haven’t heard that…anyone confirm/deny</p>
<p>The new policy is since colleges are allowing you to take the SAT as many times as you want, they are only going to look at your best one-sitting score.</p>
<p>I read about this in one of the New York Times articles.</p>
<p>There’s no need to worry about this, in my opinion. Here’s my FAQ about what colleges do with test scores: </p>
<p>ONE-TIME TEST-TAKING </p>
<p>Colleges have given up trying to distinguish one-time test-takers from two-time or three-time or even four-time test-takers, because that wasn’t useful information to the colleges. There are a number of reasons for that. </p>
<p>1) The colleges have utterly no way of knowing who spends all his free time practicing taking standardized tests and who takes them “cold.” </p>
<p>2) The colleges are well aware that students who have actually taken the tests sometimes cancel scores, so they have little incentive to give students bonus consideration if the students submit only one test score. </p>
<p>3) The colleges are aware that students who take the admission tests at middle-school age, who are numerous, do not have their earlier test scores submitted by default. </p>

<p>4) Colleges are aware that the majority of students who take the SAT at all take it more than once. </p>
<p><a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/Avg_Scores_of_Repeat_Test_Takers.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/Avg_Scores_of_Repeat_Test_Takers.pdf</a> </p>
<p>5) Colleges are in the business of helping students learn, and they don’t mind students taking efforts to improve their scores. They know that students prepare for tests. </p>
<p>From the New York Times: "Although coaching would no doubt continue if subject tests replaced the SAT, at least students would be focused on content as much as test-taking strategies, Mr. Murray said. There would also be pressure to improve local high school curriculums so that students were prepared, he wrote.</p>
<p>“These arguments make sense to Mr. Fitzsimmons [dean of admission at Harvard], who said, ‘People are going to prepare anyway, so they might as well study chemistry or biology.’ He added that ‘the idea of putting more emphasis on the subject tests is of great interest’ to his group.” </p>

<p>6) And now the College Board is back in the business of letting students choose which test scores to send into colleges, </p>

<p>so now there is less reason than ever to suppose that colleges care how many times you take the test, because the colleges have no way to know how many times you took the test officially. </p>
<p>Colleges treat applicants uniformly now by considering their highest scores, period. </p>

<p>From the Harvard admission office: “If you submit more than one set of scores for any of the required tests, the Admissions Committee considers only your best scores—even if your strongest SAT Subject Tests or portions of the SAT Reasoning Test were taken on different dates.” </p>
<p>See also a Newsweek article about the renewed score choice policy adopted by College Board. </p>

<p>Some colleges want to see all scores a student has ever obtained, period, but as one admission officer asks, if “a student submits a single best sitting of 2320,” does anyone really care “how low were her other score sets?” </p>
<p>A January 2009 email from Dartmouth’s assistant director of admissions clarifies the issue: “At Dartmouth we consider a student’s highest SAT I score in each category (or their highest composite ACT score) and their two highest SAT II Subject Test scores, regardless of how many times they have taken the tests. We never discount a student’s highest score, even if they have taken the SAT multiple times. I do hope that students will not feel the pressure to take the SAT tests four or five times (the data suggests that scores typically do not improve after the second try), but we will always consider the student’s highest scores.”</p>
<p>thanks,</p>
<p>but the question I’m trying to find an answer for is whether or not colleges choose the best subscores</p>

<p>'m guessing this means most colleges unless stated otherwise (Upenn or penn state) superscore any scores you send them? And colleges that request all your score, still superscore, but those colleges in particular want to know how many times you’ve taken it and the particular progress on improvements or progression, or lack of.</p>
<p>And i’m going to assume “their highest scores” as section scores since colleges receive scores based on sections and not composite so it wouldn’t make sense for them to add up all the scores to form a composite score and then take the best composite score rather than each individual section scores across 2-3 sats.</p>
<p>bump^^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>Were you able to change recipients yet? Here’s a step by step process.</p>
<ol>
<li>Log in</li>
<li>Under my SAT it will say you have *** days to change recipients</li>
<li>Click on change recipients</li>
<li>You may get a security test so just login again</li>
<li>You should see all the tests that you have registered for</li>
<li>Under the column that says “Action Steps” in the 03/2009 SAT click on “send score reports”</li>
<li>Click on “show my previous selections” on the top</li>
<li>Highlight the colleges you want to remove and click remove, then click continue to save changes.</li>
</ol>
<p>As far as superscores go, colleges no longer superscore now that there is score choice, so if you don’t think you did well just wait to see your score and then choose to send it or not.</p>
<p>OK, this has probably been answered a thousand times somewhere but I can’t for the life of me find it, so please bear with me…</p>
<p>Student takes the SAT and reports the score to his four “free” schools,</p>
<p>Student then takes SAT2 and reports to four different “free” schools - do these four schools get a copy of the SAT2 scores AND the prior SAT scores?</p>
<p>So when all is said and done test-wise, and one pays to have scores reported to a given school, are all the scores sent or do you have to pay separately for SAT2?</p>
<p>Additionally - for the schools that received the first-round “free” reports, do we have to pay again to have the 2nd round (better) SAT sent?</p>
<p>Help! 
Thanks!!!</p>
