Money Saving Tip - Test Scores on Transcripts

I recently glanced at a copy of my son’s transcript and discovered his school puts ACT and SAT scores on the transcript. I also discovered that two of the schools he is going to apply to (both safeties) will accept test scores on the transcript and we don’t have to pay to have them sent via the testing organization. So check before using one of the “free” slots that come with each test or before paying to have a test sent.

In the grand scheme of college costs, it isn’t a huge savings, but every bit helps.

I’ve read that many colleges will allow you to self-report test scores and only require official scores when you’re admitted.
