How to save $ sending test scores ??

Test Preparation

<p>I am trying to figure out the best & cheapest way to send your SAT scores. Do you keep your top 4 favorite Schools the same each time you take the test. So ultimately the will super score or pick the best? Then if you are sending out 5 more apps you pay an additional $9.50 for the rest of the applications? What if you took the SATs 3 times-- should you mix and match who you want to send it to on each test? </p>

<p>What's the deal now that you get to choose which score you select.</p>

<p>On College Board website it says: </p>

<p>Students can select the four score report requests included in the registration up until 11:59 p.m. on the Monday nine days after the published test date. Score reports selected after that are subject to the regular score report fee.</p>

<p>Does this mean you can select the 4 schools 9 days after you took the test? So if you felt you did poorly you wouldn't choose to send it? </p>

<p>We ended up paying $9.5 for 7 more schools ($70) + 3 SAT tests ($135) + SAT II $38 + $650 in a SAT prep= $900 in SAT expense--- Almost $250 to the College Board-- quite a money maker just to be meausred & tortured! (Also did an ACT test)</p>

<p>It’s sad-- 74 views and nobody has an answer yet. I suspect the sending of the test scores is really a hidden money maker for CB. i.e. – you get 4 free ones (if the student remember to submit the 4 college codes, in a timely fashion & are they really the schools he will be applying to-- what Junior knows what 4 schools they will apply to in Mar/ May/Jun) and send off 6 more – that’s an extra $60. But if the student at the last minute decideds to take SAT again (lets say Nov) they have tto re-request the new grades to be sent…</p>
