<p>If you use score choice to send scores to a school that allows it, will the school be aware that you used it?</p>
<p>One reason I'm curious is that my son only took the SAT once. So even if he sends "all his scores" schools might assume he was using choice to suppress a lower score, if they can't tell.</p>
<p>The other reason is that my son's ACT is better than his SAT. If he uses choice to send just his SAT subject tests, and then sends his ACT, will the school be wary because choice was used to exclude "something" and they don't know what?</p>
<p>If you’re being honest, then there’s nothing to worry about.
It’s not like an admission officer will be appalled if a student took an SAT only once, seeing as they should see ALOT of applicants EVERY year.<br>
They trust all students to send their score in if they request it- they are not going to single out one student out if he simply has 1 score.</p>
<p>If the school requires you to send all scores, you should do so. If the schools accept score choice, they really don’t sit around wondering if you sent all scores (and that is probably even true of most which require all scores), meaning it is simply not a factor to be concerned about. Moreover, sending one SAT score to an anti-score choice school is not going to have any effect either. Despite the impression you may get from visiting sites like this one, the majority of college applicants still take the SAT only once.</p>
<p>Colleges cannot learn whether you exercised score choice from the testing agencies; College Board and ACT provide nothing to colleges indicating that you took tests you decide not to send. Colleges can learn whether you exercised score choice from the student’s high school transcript if the high school is like many which put all your scores on the official transcript sent to colleges.</p>
