<p>I hope this helps.
When you took the ACT and when you took the SAT, if on any of those times before you took those tests you indicated to college board that you wanted those scores to be sent to certain schools, those scores were sent.
If you take the SAT II subject tests, and you arrange for those scores to be sent, the colleges will see the complete report to date which includes those SAT II subject tests, any other SAT II subject tests you previously took, and all SAT I reasoning tests taken previously
For Harvard, if you are submitting the ACT, you also need to submit the three SAT II subject tests. For Yale, for example and other schools, if you are submitting the ACT, you can just submit the ACT and dont need to submit SAT II subject tests.
So, if you are applying to Harvard and you are submitting the ACT and have previously taken the SAT I reasoning tests they will see all those SAT I scores.
If you submit both the ACT and the SAT scores, the admission officers will count the higher of the two. ie. if your ACT converts to a higher SAT score they will count that.</p>
<p>This should be related enough to the original concern of this thread to be on-topic. </p>

<p>I'm trying to figure out if there is one exception, or partial exception, to the statement above. Many young people take the SAT I as part of "talent search" testing at middle school age </p>

<p>and I have seen contradictory reports here on CC (and elsewhere) about whether those scores show up on a student's score, or can show up on a student's score report, at the time the student applies to college. (It seems to me that at least some Harvard applicants would have high scores at middle school age that they would want to appear on their score reports.) Among this year's high school class of 2007 applicants, who has a College Board score report including SAT I scores from middle-school-age talent search testing? Is that the routine arrangement, or did having those scores on the score report have to be specially arranged? </p>
<p>(I'm sure the reply above is correct, that Harvard gives applicants the benefit of their best scores, regardless of what test they took and how often they took the test, and that is precisely why I am curious about my issue in this post, because some middle-schoolers ace one section or another of the SAT I or ACT.) </p>
