<p>I took the SAT Subject Tests twice so do I have to send BOTH of those two scores? Or do I just send the one I scored the highest?</p>
<p>When you ask for a score report to be sent to a college, that report will include scores for all of the tests you've taken thus far. You don't get to pick and choose, but the adcom will probably only look at your highest scores on the subject tests.</p>

<p>So I'd have to send BOTH scores? I thought it was only the highest of the two sittings?</p>
<p>You'll send them all, but they'll only consider the highest.</p>
<p>Well I'm confused because my counselor told me you just send the highest sitting.</p>
<p>When you send SAT scores, ALL SCORES GET SENT. Your GC is completely wrong.</p>

<p>Even for ACT'S???</p>
<p>No, not for ACTs. No offense, but it doesn't take long to poke around a little bit and find this information. It's everywhere.</p>
<p>Why is different for the acts than for the sats? (Why can you send only the highest score for the act's but you have to send all scores for the sat subject tests??)</p>
<p>Different Companies.</p>
<p>Where are you getting your information from?</p>
<p>the ACT is from the ACT company, and the SAT is the collegeboard.
The SAT sends all your tests, but the ACT sends whichever you specify.
and if you're going to ask for information here instead of looking yourself, wjhy are you questioning where people get it?</p>
<p>I'm wondering because I'm getting different information here than what my college counselor told me. I just want to be sure, that's all. </p>
<p>So even if I only want to use English and Math Level 2, but took Biology and History the second time I took it, I still have to send ALL four scores?</p>
<p>You are wording your questions very strangely. If you took the two tests you want to send in one sitting then you only have to send those, you do not need to send the other two, but only if you took them in one sitting. If you took for example: English and History in October and Biology and Math II in November then you have to send both score reports.</p>
<p>Make sense?</p>
<p>I took Math Level 2 and English in September, and Biology and History in October. My scores were bad for Biology and History so I'm just sending the September score (for math and english).</p>
<p>Thanks for your help factorr</p>
<p>I don't think you will be able to do that...basically any time you request to have either SATs or SAT IIs sent, they will send your entire score history, including both SATs and SAT IIs....that's my understanding, someone pls correct me if I'm wrong.
That's one great advantage of the ACT...you get to pick and choose which test dates you want to send...if you have a bad one, you just don't have it sent.
The only way to game the SAT is for example if you're going to take one in the future, you could have your current scores sent, then when you take the last one, if you don't like it, you don't have to send that.</p>
<p>I'm not surprised your counselor isn't explaining it right...that's a common problem....so alot of people aren't aware of this stuff until it's too late.</p>
<p>My d made the mistake of taking 3 SAT IIs in one day, one of which she wasn't very well prepared for...so she scored quite a bit lower on that one...but now there's no way to get rid of that one lower score...Better to take just one or two at a time unless you're super confident in taking 3 at a time. Often you only need 2 anyhow....</p>
<p>Good luck with your applications!</p>

For the SAT Subject Tests, report all exams you have taken. (UC will use your highest scores from two separate subject areas.) You may report up to three planned SAT Subject Tests.

<p>So I guess I have to send all four? .....</p>
<p>You're right wecandothis, I wasn't thinking straight. College Board will send your entire score report.</p>
<p>When you send SAT scores, you send your most recent 6 SAT reasoning and most recent 6 SAT Subject test. Where am I getting my info? Collegeboard website.</p>
<p>wecandothis, if incompetent counselors are common, then American high schools would have a problem, so i doubt they are THAT common....</p>
<p>to be honest, babyblue, your counselor is an idiot; i'd recommend that you inform your principal that your counselor does not know what s/he is doing, but perhaps that's just me...</p>
