<p>My guidance counselor doesn't know anything and is no help, and none of my friends can help me either so hopefully someone here can help me. I have a few questions and I'm in desperate need of answers.</p>
<p>-I'm taking a subject test in November. If I were to send out my SAT score reports now, because i have some schools with a November 1st deadline, will I have to pay 10 dollars again for every school to send them my subject test scores?</p>
<p>-I took the ACT 3 times, all three times with a fee waiver. Now, i'm going to send my scores and it's charging me to send each separate score. </p>
<p>-FINALLY. I took the SAT once before and got really sick but never cancelled my score, so it's awful. I'm retaking the SAT this weekend, so should I blindly send my scores to all my schools before knowing what I got, even though some of them only require ACT OR SAT, not both? And if the school doesn't use score choice, is there any way I can explain the awful score I received on my first SAT?</p>
<p>SOMEONE PLEASE HELP, i'd be forever grateful if you could answer ANY of these questions, I have nobody else to help me and I"m very confused.</p>
<p>No, if you take advantage of the free score reports by designating colleges when you sign up for the exams. You may use this for four colleges, if I remember correctly. Otherwise, yes, you have to pay again to send out additional score reports to each school.</p>

<p>I know for the SAT you get a certain number of free score reports if you have fee waivers, but I don’t know about ACT.</p>

<p>Most schools only look at the highest of your scores, even if they do require that you submit all scores, so I think there is no need. Whether or not you designate a college for the scores to be sent before you actually receive the score depends on you, whether you want pay for extra score reports later and how confident you are about the upcoming test.</p>
<p>Hope that helped. I had a lot of questions that needed to be answered too when I was applying to college and found it really helpful to look through past threads in the forums— good luck with everything!</p>
<p>Thanks, that really did help a lot. I used a fee waiver to pay for the October test so it’s not a matter of whether or not I want to pay extra, because I still get 8 free score reports but rather a matter of whether I should send the scores mid-November to the schools when the app was due Nov 1. Would they take the score into consideration? But then I take the chance, that if I did worse than I did on my ACT. Ah so confused, it’s pretty much take a risk and send them or be safe and wait.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever been faced with this decision?</p>
<p>And if anyone knows the answer to the free ACT score reports, please let me know because to send out reports to 12 different schools for 3 different tests would be too costly for me to even do.</p>
<p>The last date to take the SAT/ACT in order for it to count for early decision/action should be listed on the college’s admission website. Which college is it?</p>
<p>I mean I haven’t truly taken the SAT yet considering I was deathly ill the first time. And I took the subject tests once but didn’t do as well as I would liked to on one, so I’m retaking that. It’s not that I’m ill-prepared, it’s that I think I can do better.</p>
