<p>I'm planning on using my SAT I's and II's to fulfill the testing requirements for the colleges I'm applying to. But I've already self-reported my ACT score on the Common App, so I'm wondering if I need to send official score reports as well? The only reason I'm concerned is because of the whole thing about needing to report all scores, and I just don't want to mess anything up.</p>
<p>On the Common App, as you have done, the applicant must “report” all of the tests and scores from those tests. However, they are unofficial and in order for the school to accept them as part of your application, you must log onto your ACT/SAT account and send the scores through the agency (this makes them official). For each ACT test it costs $9 per-school (I just sent in my scores yesterday:0), but for SAT I don’t know: never reported my scores.</p>
<p>Okay, so since I’m sending official reports for the SAT and using that as my testing requirement, I don’t have to send official reports for my ACT, right? And thanks!</p>
<p>sorry to hijack ur thread, just sneaking in a quick question - </p>
<p>how does one report AP exam scores??</p>
<p>AP scores are self-reported on applications. If you are admitted, schools may ask for the official report for placement or placing out of foriegn languages, etc.</p>
<p>You can also see if your high school transcript includes AP scores, ours did.</p>
<p>yes…</p>
<p>My D reported BOTH (all) scores on her first application (her in state safety). This was for a state school. Because EITHER her SAT or ACT would qualify her for scholarships, we chose to ONLY send in the SAT “officially”. My assumption is that it means they ONLY “considered” the SAT. We just didn’t want to waste the money to send the other when it wasn’t necessary. </p>
<p>However, she is also apply to some “top” schools. Many are requiring full disclosure of all schools. My thought is that whatever you want them to consider…you send in the official report. So, if you’re OK with their only looking at one report…then you can send ONLY that one. You’ve met their requirements. But…is it a school where you can watch your status online? (see if any documents are missing?). Or, just shoot them an e-mail and ask that question.</p>
<p>For my D, for those “top” schools…we ARE going to send both reports. Because the scores are very close. But there is also the complication that some schools…like NYU…have MANY different options in what scores can be used to gain admission. Only 3 AP scores, for examle. Of course my child will be reporting APs, but she’s NOT going to send an official AP score report…because that is NOT the part she wants to be considered for acceptance. They ask that you please report ALL scores, and “let us sort it”. So she’s going to send ACT, SAT and SAT III…and let them do just that. </p>
<p>If you don’t send the report, they PROBABLY won’t consider the score anyway. But, they’re human. So I don’t think you HAVE to send it. I believe you HAVE reported all scores just by doing so on the application. But, again, best to check with the school!</p>
<p>This is really something you need to check with each school. Obviously for any that do not require you to report all scores you are fine sending the SATs only. For those that require all scores, they have varying rules, some say you must send official scores for all tests, some say that you need not send official reports of ACT if you are relying on SATs and send all SAT scores and you don’t have to send SAT scores if relying on ACT and send all ACT scores, some say as to ACT you need to send an official score for only one and can self-report other ACT scores in the application. In other words you are dealing with a morass of rules because each college is creating its own definition of what it means by sending all scores.</p>
