Is it illegal ?

<p>So I took SAT twice last year and SAT II once. However, I did not get into any college this year. Therefore, I have to reapply next year. Is it illegal that I create a new account on College Board ?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they have your social security number. I don’t see how you could get away with creating a second account.</p>

<p>I am an international student so I don’t have a social security number. So is illegal or something ?</p>

<p>Shame on you!</p>

<p>Honestly, I don’t know if it is illegal or not so I am just asking you guys. I did not mean to do anything illegally.</p>

<p>Why would you? You don’t need to create a new account; if you don’t like the scores that you already have now and do better next time, you can just send the better scores to any colleges. It’s not like you are expected to send all of your scores at most colleges anyway. Just register for SAT with the same account you have now; there is no benefit to registering twice.</p>

<p>Thank you for your info. Now it’s clear. I am so sure about the score choice policy. Will sending 1 out of 2 tries of SAT II and 2 out of 4 tries of SAT be considered as using score choice ?</p>

<p>Create a new account if you want to. It not illegal. There’s no real benefit in doing so, but don’t let anyone here tell you trash. It’s up to YOU.</p>

<p>Yes. But I’m confused – why would you send two SAT I scores? Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply send either the highest one or the highest combination of subscores (Math and Critical Reading) rather than sending two?</p>

<p>But some schools do not like the idea of score choice so they want scores from all testing dates. I am really confused about the score choice policy.</p>

<p>One more question. Right now I have a SAT of 2000 (M:710, CR:630, W:660) after 2 tries. DO you guys think that it is possible that I can raise my score up to a 2100 or a 2200 ?</p>

<p>This is probably none of my business, so don’t respond if you don’t want to, but why did you not get accepted into any college?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You can check each school’s policy on ScoreChoice on their website. There’s no one answer about whether or not you can use ScoreChoice. You can only know the answer to that with each school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sure, it’s possible. Do you look at your score reports, especially for reading and writing (those are the ones with the most room for improvement)? You might need to take some more practices to improve them.</p>

<p>I am not sure why I get rejected from all of them. May be my scores are not good enough, for example my SAT score is too low.</p>

<p>Right, but schools will not like the idea that I take SAT for 3 or 4 times right if they require me to send in all scores ? That’s a reason I want to make a separate account for a fresh cycle.</p>

<p>Yeah, I need to pull up my writing to at least a 700, Math to 800 and CR to 700 to reach 2200 but CR is pretty tough since I am an international students.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t consider that to be illegal.</p>

<p>

<p>They honestly won’t care. You actually aren’t the first person not to nail a 2400 on their first or even their second go around. A 2000 is a perfectly respectable score, enough for virtually every school apart from the Ivy League (Harvard, etc.) and similar schools. You can make a separate account if you want – there’s no criminal charge that can be filed against you or anything – but it honestly isn’t that big of a deal to take the SAT 3 or even 4 times.</p>

<p>Really ? I thought that taking 3 or 4 times will be my disadvantage.</p>

<p>hey, well I actually made 2 accounts (I made one in 7th grade, forgot the id and password, didn’t think it’d be a big deal to make a new one, so i did). CollegeBoard found out, and all it did was deleted one of them, but transferred all the scores.</p>

<p>So, I don’t think it will really make a difference whether you make another one.</p>

<p>Plus, its a bit immoral to fool a college.</p>
