Sat and app

<p>When I looked at the collegeboard website to check out application deadlines, I noticed that most schools have regular app deadline on january 1. But it also contains deadlines for sat test scores which is around march. Does that mean I can take my sat as late as Jan or even February? (I'm a senior in high school) I thought the application had to have the sat scores with it.... Why does it have two separate dates?
Can someone answer me please???</p>

<p>For most colleges, the very last time you can submit your SAT score is in December (the the results can come out as early as february), and by that time, you have to order score reports to be sent directly to the score. Thus, you’ve lost the benefits of score choice. However, some schools require you to submit all your scores, anyway.</p>
