<p>DS took 2 SAT subject tests today, and feels that he did well on one but not the other. Only 1 of the schools he is applying to requires subject tests, and he's not really concerned about that one anyways. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to take the other 3 reports off the free set and wait to see how they go before submitting them anywhere else. Will they be sent to his HS and put on his transcripts automatically?</p>
<p>It depends. If you listed your high school they will get the scores, but most high schools don’t put SAT scores on the transcripts. (The College Board makes it quite clear they don’t think they should - the scores belong to your child to reveal or not as they wish.) That said it is useful for high schools to have access to the scores so that they can use them to judge the quality of their courses (in the case of subject tests) and for improving college advising by comparing scores, grades and admissions results.</p>
<p>In your shoes I would wait for the results before sending scores to colleges and I would ask for a copy of your child’s transcript to find out what is on them.</p>
<p>When you fill out a transcript request form at our school, we are given the option to show or not show test scores.</p>
<p>I didn’t have my kids list their high schools on any standardized tests (except one of their ACT sittings, which was done through the hs and is required by my state). I didn’t have them list any colleges either. The heck with the free reports – I wanted the ability to be able to review and send anything anywhere as we all saw fit. Saving a few bucks wasn’t worth it.</p>
<p>We did as you did, PG. With D1, we tried to make the best use of the free reports. It got to be a mess trying to figure out who got what results. With D2, we just waited till all results were in and then sent out the reports.</p>
<p>Just one more data point–DS also took two subject tests yesterday. We’ll wait to see how he did before sending them anywhere.</p>
<p>Can you pick which subject test to send from different test dates or just send one of the two tests? I mean, say they take 2 and do well only on one, can they separate the scores, send the good one and take more subject tests in November?</p>
<p>SAT does have score choice available now, but some schools want all scores and won’t let you use it.</p>
<p>The scores from different subject tests taken on the same test date can be sent separately; for example, if a student took Math II and Chemistry on October 6, but only scored well on math, they can chose to send only that score to colleges and leave the chemistry score unreported.</p>
<p>The three-part reasoning test is considered a single test, so all parts (CR/M/W) are included in the score report and cannot be sent separately.</p>
<p>If colleges ask for ALL tests to be sent, then it is up to the student to abide by the request and send all the scores. Collegeboard, however, will only send the scores you request.</p>
<p>Thank you Gourmet Mom. That does answers my question. I now realize that I was not clear in the way that asked it.</p>
<p>My son chose to send only his ACT score which was 200 and a bit more pts higher when measured on the equivalent SAT/ACT matrix. In addition he sent only 2 of his subject tests, each paid for individually. Result? College trans. shows ALL of his SAT scores including SAT1, even though requested or paid for. So, if that is the case, it seems one should pay for only on SAT score to be sent, and SAT will lose out on $$$ then maybe they will stop doing that. Meaning why pay for SAT subjects if once you pay for them the SAT1 get’s sent too. Or the other way around. SAT testers should take note and save a dime. If SAT’s don’t get sent the UNI will contact you. But, pretty sure one fee will deliver ALL test scores subjects and all.</p>
<p>I did not feel SAT should have sent the SAT1, since only the subject tests were requested. Nope- there they all are on the college trans. for good even though the ACT was much higher. So now The SAT1 scores will also be considered by Grad Schools.</p>
<p>That is why we don’t list our son’s high school when he signs up for SAT/ACT testing.
We put in his high school as 000 code. They don’t need his testing and we want control over who gets to see it.</p>
