Hi,
I have 4 names, 1 Given + 3 surnames. In my College Board account it is written like this: Given+ Second Name initial+ (Third Name + part of the last).I would like to know if I should change how it´s written in CB to Given+ Second Name initial+ Last Name . I recently took SAT Subjects, if I change now and only send my scores when the name is fixed will there be any problem ?
They should be matching up your SSN on the tests, but ALWAYS check.
My daughter didn’t understand the directions for bubbling her whole name and, from one test, we could always tell which schools were sending her stuff off that test because it only had the first three letters of our last name.
My other daughter who has a double first name did have a problem at her college. When she went on a recruiting trip, the coach opened a file with just half of her first name/no middle name/last name. Then daughter filled out an application and used her entire first name, middle initial, last name. Half the things went into one file, half into the other. The hs sent the transcript and at the end of the first semester of college they kept saying they didn’t have her transcript and she couldn’t register. Her financial aid was incorrect because her test scores were never updated in the ‘right’ file and she was given a lower merit award. Lots of issues and I finally figured it out and, once they closed one file and deleted the second student number, no more issues.
Check. Use the name you want to use. Bubble it correctly.
As mentioned above, just prepare yourself; it’s only going to get worse. 
Yes, contact the CB and change the name. Additionally, when you do go to college, your very first stop needs to be to the registrar’s office to ensure that they have your name exactly as you want it.
Just let all the colleges you apply to know that your full legal name is First Second Third Fourth, and that some of your records may show a different version of your name. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Thank you all for the help, but the SAT 2 I already got when I change name in CB it will be ok right?
Don’t worry about this. Lots of students have names that are too long for the forms, or can be written umpteen different ways. The colleges have a lot of experience with sorting this out.
@skieurope Was just reading it again and to what should I change as my full name is too big? 1st+2nd initial +4th ?
If there aren’t enough spaces for your full name, then there is no reason to change it yet. Just use that version of the name for all of your College Board stuff. It will be easier for the records to stay together. When you do apply to college, let the colleges know what your full legal name is, and that some of your school and/or exam records have other versions of your name on them.
