how long does it take Collegeboard to send SAT scores?

<p>My earliest college deadline is November 30.
I'm taking the November SAT I (November 6).</p>

<p>The November SAT score comes out on November 28th.</p>

<p>I've never sent scores to colleges before. I have a decent one from this past June. All of my Subject test scores are good.</p>

<p>I'm wondering if I should wait until the 28th to send my score reports or should I just send all of the scores I have so far (SAT and Subj) before I find out my November SAT score?</p>

<p>The big question is, how long does it take for your scores to get to the college after you click the send button? Also, if I DO send my existing SAT scores before I find out my November 6 SAT score, should I send my November 6 SAT score after the college deadline?</p>

<p>Which colleges? Most with a Nov 30 app deadline date actually take through Dec tests (e.g., the UCs) so there is absolutely no issue in waiting to send until after Nov scores come out. Most likely you have no issue but there may be a rare college that actually requires those scores to be in their hands by the Nov 30 app deadline date. Otherwise, the fact they may not arrive until after Nov 30 means nothing because they can arrive after the deadline date. CB “sends” scores to most colleges by putting your scores into the on-line secured account that the college has with CB. That can take a day to several days (the latter would likely be true if you order right when scores come out because CB gets many thousands of such requests right at that same time). Receipt then just simply depends on when the college goes into that account to download scores and that varies among colleges from anywhere from almost daily to once every two weeks.</p>

<p>drusba, thank you very much for the thorough explanation!
Yes, I am considering the UC’s, which is my November 30 deadilne. I will check my other colleges’ websites to see if they are fine with receiving their scores after their Dec.1 deadline. Thank you for explaining how the colleges actually find my scores after I send it as well (the database)!!</p>

<p>You can send your SAT II subject tests now and wait to send your SAT scores until you take the SAT in November in case you want to use the Score Choice option and then send them on a rush basis. They say on the College Board website that rushed scores will arrive electronically within 2 days.</p>
