SAT Reports to Colleges

Test Preparation

<p>Hi, I took the SAT in March and chose four schools to report my scores. I'm planning to retake it in October and was wondering if I have to request the same schools again to make sure that the new scores will be sent or choose another set of four schools? On the collegeboard, it says that,</p>

<p>"We send a cumulative report of all scores that are available and reportable at the time your request is received. You cannot send only your latest or highest SAT scores, or separate scores for critical reading, mathematics, or writing sections, or only SAT, or only Subject Test scores."</p>

<p>"Only score reports from completed and scored tests will be sent to the colleges and scholarship programs you select. Scores from future tests for which you registered, but have not yet completed, will not be included. Check your My SAT to see which scores are available to send."</p>

<p>I just wanted to confirm that I don't have to list the same four schools twice when I am taking my second SAT. Thank you for being so helpful!</p>

<p>Don’t send a score report until you’re completely done with the SAT’s. Then submit score reports to all the colleges that require them. Let’s say you’re applying to Amherst and, because you didn’t know that the report was cumulative, you sent your March SAT scores to Amherst. Now you want to retake the test. If you want Amherst to receive the October scores, you need to send the score report again to Amherst. That’s why you wait until you’re done, then send the score report.</p>
