<p>For some of the schools I'm applying to, they require that I submit all the scores for all the SATs that I've taken. However, if that's the case, then what's the point of the score choice option that Collegeboard offers? If I still use Score Choice and send in only certain test scores, will the colleges be able to tell that I didn't submit all my scores?</p>
<p>No college would know whether you used or did not use score choice. The ones that require all scores to be sent in, trust that you will not use score choice on your own. There is nothing stopping you. It’s a moral judgement call and I personally think you should do whatever you want. Just make sure your high school transcript reflects your decision on how many scores are posted on the transcript matching the score(s) you send. You are allowed to determine what sat and act scores if any are on the transcript. Later.</p>
<p>Bart Simpson’s answer surprises me. I thought that collegeboard reports the date of testing for each score you elect to report. If all scores are not from the same date, that enables colleges to know you have used score choice.</p>
<p>Just send them all - the fallout if you don’t and they find out is not worth it. Most places will ignore the bad scores anyway - certainly Cornell said that</p>
<p>How will colleges find out that my SAT scores if I don’t send them in? I know that our school doesn’t post SAT/ACT scores on the transcript, so that’s out…</p>
<p>and I want to use Score Choice because one of my SAT scores decreased by more than 200 points the last time I took it. That doesn’t exactly reflect well on my profile…</p>
<p>if you don’t self report the scores, they aren’t on your transcript and you use score choice, the schools will not find out the scores that you don’t report. But, I do think they will know you have used score choice because they will see different testing dates for the scores that are reported to them. That could work against you at schools that require you to report all your scores.</p>
<p>If you don’t report all scores to schools that require it they will not know. Like I said it is a moral judgment on what you choose to do. If you can’t figure out score choice from the posts above i suggest you call college board directly as I have and gotten all the details. Score choice lets you select which scores to send. It’s as simple as that. No testing dates appear from tests you choose not to be sent. The end.</p>
