<p>On the college Board website, it says i have 8 days to change or add recipents for my jan 2007 scores.</p>
<p>Now i am just a freshman and i haven't applied yet so i heard it is useless for me to send scores at this stage.</p>
<p>Does this message from CB mean that i have to pay for each recipents i send to after 8 days?</p>
<p>I am really confused, please help.</p>
<p>Chelseafc65, Slow down and take a deep breath. You seem to be a bright student if you have decided to test this early in your High School career. Trust that your college choices will change MANY times before your Junior year. I am not familiar with any college admissions office but I highly doubt that colleges do much with test scores from freshman & sophmores. My son tested as a freshman as well. At best, he was placed on their mailing list. Continue to challege yourself with tough academic classes and stay active in extra curricular activities. </p>
<p>I know for a fact that our HS transcripts also include test scores from ALL dates. When the time comes for you to select colleges on your short list, your scores will be higher than your freshman year test date.<br>
Good Luck and enjoy high school. "Life comes at you fast." (I love the Nationwide Insurance commercials.) :)</p>
<p>Don't worry at all now. There's little point in sending scores now; that message is just to inform people who did select score recipients while registering that they can still add or change recipients during the next 8 days. It doesn't concern you if you haven't indicated any score recipients.</p>
<p>In addition I'd recommend that you wait until you're sure you're finished with CB (in your Junior/Senior years) and then send your scores. (This is as whenever you send scores all your scores are sent.) Good luck!</p>
<p>I am trying to register my daughter (a hs junior) for the March SAT and wonder: do we <em>have</em> to send these scores to any schools at all? She plans to take the test again in May or June and then in October of her senior year. Can she choose to send whichever of these three scores is the highest to the schools of her choice? And if so, what if (small chance, but worth positing) the March test is her best ... could she still send those junior year scores to her selected list of colleges next fall, when she applies? It's been so long since I took the SAT that I don't understand how to do this. I just know she doesn't want scores going to universities this first time. HELP!!!</p>
<p>If she takes the tests before she applies, yes, they will see all of her scores, unless she cancels them before she walks out of the testing room.</p>
<p>NMR--it works like this: Every test that your daughter takes through the college board as a junior and senior (SATs and SAT IIs) becomes part of her college board record. When you ask to have a score report sent, ALL of the test results for all of the tests are sent. So, if she is taking tests in June, that would be a good time to send the free score reports to some schools because it will have results for all of the tests she has taken this spring. If she decides to take some tests again next fall, an updated report will be sent and it will have all of the previous scores.</p>
<p>I understand the fear that schools might see a less impressive score and that this might hurt your D. However, most colleges have made it very clear that they only look at the highest score in each area if a student has taken a test multiple times and there is no disadvantage to taking the tests more than once. Students sometimes also take the ACT in addition to the SAT because colleges will take the test on which the student did better and this gives students another bite at the apple.</p>
<p>Thanks, nimby. That makes sense. So this means that it is OK NOT to designate any colleges to receive the scores this first time, right? Because whatever colleges she designates when she takes the test in June or next October will get all the scores anyway. No sense in sending three separate sets of scores to each school separately. I hope I am getting this right! :)</p>
<p>NMR, you are getting it correct. :) Because they will get the scores anyway, you need not send them what you know will be the first of two or three times. Just remind her that they will see all of her scores, if she does not already know that.</p>
<p>Yep, you got it!</p>
