<p>I went through the Collegeboard tutorial on how to report scores in the new world, but I am still not quite clear on this question. If my daughter takes SAT II tests over multiple sessions of different subjects, Chem, English, Hisotry, Math I II...Could we pick and choose which subject test to send to each school? As an example, if she got Chem 650, English 800, History 600, Math I 620, Math II 760, could we choose to send in her English and Math II scores and not submit other scores? Or will colleges see scores from each test session?</p>
<p>Yes, you can send specific score(s).</p>
<p>Yes you can send specific subject test scores by individual subject and by individual date, just did it with my daughter. In your example if she did a retake of Chem and got 800, she could also send just the better Chem score.</p>
<p>The only caveat is that some schools (eg Yale) want to see ALL your standardized test scores: all ACT’s, all SAT’s, and all subject tests. Collegeboard is not enforcing this, so you <em>can</em> pick and choose even when sending to these colleges, but you would be in violation of the policies of those colleges. Theoretically if they find out later about your violation they could rescind an offer of admission.</p>
<p>Thank-you. I guess then it does pay to take a few more different subject tests, so you could pick and choose. It is better for Collegeboard because they make money off number of tests people take.</p>
<p>^Exactly, oldfort. In the old days, it paid to be discriminating about which tests to take, knowing that all scores would show up on the report.</p>
<p>I have briefly looked through a number of application supplements for schools that specified through College Board that they want all the scores and I have yet to see any instructions and any wordings that suggest that they require all the scores to be reported. These are supplements for the coming fall, granted that the common application for next year has not come out yet. The only place where I got the info about schools wanting all the scores is the document listed in College Board website. If there is no such requirement listed in the application or instruction, I don’t know if one would be violating any policies of the colleges. Again, no one should lie or give misleading information in their college applications, but there is not any clear indication of what is required for this coming year in regards to Score Choice.</p>
<p>I think it’s much muddier regarding subject tests. If they ask for three test scores and you took five, I don’t really think that’s their business. For the SAT1, the colleges tell me they want to superscore, both to make you look good, but also so they can report the highest scores as well. We’ll definitely send in all the SAT1 scores to all the colleges (unless a single sitting score is better in every single section), but I’ll be reading the fine print regarding subject tests!</p>

<p>mathmom, I even think it is none of their business if an applicant took the SAT sixteen times and sent in just his/her best score. But they are free to set their policies as they see fit and even though I disagree with it, my D will follow it. I doubt they will seriously enforce the policy for subject tests (they still say they will superscore and look at the highest subject tests) but this is their stated policy.</p>
<p>It’s just that it’s harder to tell whether the SAT subject tests are a good match for your school’s curriculum. My son has three scores in the 700s, and a Math2 score of 610, which he’d rather not advertise, but of course he’ll send it in if they ask. (He’s not applying to Yale!) I think he’s only got one school on the list that even wants three subject tests. So I’m not especially worried.</p>
<p>Many “strongly suggest” you send in all your tests and they will only use the higher sitting (no super scores) and that the others will not be considered in your admissions. Perhaps it might not be considered for admission but what about getting into your major or scholarships? They want them for something and advertising the lower scores isn’t going to help the kid, imo.</p>
