<p>I thought i've seen people say that regardless of when you take the SATs and SATIIs, you get the choice to send which ever scores you want (if you are in the class of 2010 that is.) Recently i have seen people saying that this policy applies for 2010ers that take the tests ONLY after march 09. </p>
<p>Which is correct?</p>
<p>It applies to every test you've taken. Even if you took the test freshman year.</p>
<p>beware: i've heard that even though you can choose to send only certain scores, the colleges will know you withheld a score.</p>
<p>^And how does that negativly impact your app?</p>
<p>so should i not take the Jan SAT?</p>
<p>Guys, the ACT has had score choice for years. With the ACT, you send the score or scores that you wish them to see. If you get a 36 on your 5th try, you can just send the 36 and colleges will have no idea that you took the test 5 times. Things will be no different with the SAT score choice policy.</p>
<p>^I believe privates still want you to send all your scores.</p>
<p>It is technically possible for the CB to coordinate with colleges so that when you choose a school to receive a report, you would have, or would not have, the option of which scores to send (depending on that school's policy). But I believe the planned system starting in March is an honor system: if you've taken the SAT 10 times and a school wants every score, it is up to you to know that and send every score ...</p>
<p>well i registered for the Jan SAT. I felt it would be a good practice experience.</p>
<p>but fig i do not see how the new policy can be based on an "honor system." There's so much competition that many students will withhold their lower scores in order to get an edge over the rest.</p>
<p>^ a better idea than to fret needlessly is to make sure you're set to ace the january SAT. you've got like 2 months. it's always better to do it once and get it over with permanently.</p>
<p>@fignewton</p>
<p>has there been any confirmation on whether it is still an honor system? </p>
<p>and if someone defies it (purposefully or not), could the college find out?</p>
<p>Can colleges actually tell if you’ve withheld a score?</p>
<p>if I took a test in May can i send in that score in the fall? Is there a time limit to send in the scores?</p>
<p>@Esp
no there is no time limit</p>
<p>Still honor system AFAIK. From the below link:</p>

<p>Here is the current list of college/university score use policies, as received by the CB: [SAT</a> Score Use Practices](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf]SAT”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf) …</p>
<p>@fig yes I have seen that list</p>
<p>I wish we could somehow see the actual score reports that colleges receive from CB</p>
