How do colleges match you with your Sat scores?

When you send your scores through collegeboard and then you send your application independantely, how the colleges are able to know that the scores were yours?Do they only use your first and last name you provided for collegeboard to match you with your scores?

There is a lot of verification behind the scens that involves your name, date of birth, high school, and your Social Security Number too. Don’t worry, I don’t think there will be a mix up. Hopefully of course.

Agree with above poster. They have been doing it for years and years and years.
