Score choice on SAT IIs

<p>Say a college rejects score choice, and I take the sat II for chem twice. If I get a 600 the first time and an 800 the second time, do I have to send in the 600? The only test I took on that day was chem. </p>

<p>And If I am supposed to send in that 600 but I don't, how will they find out? And what are the chances of them finding out?</p>

<p>Thank ya!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>According to the policy of rejecting Score Choice, yes, because you would have to use Score Choice to hide the 600. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Unless your transcript lists all your scores, they won’t.</p>

<p>They won’t find out if you use Score Choice. And I’m pretty pretty sure that it’s even harder for them to know if you used Score Choice on your SAT IIs.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What leads you to believe this?</p>

<p>I guess I might be a little more circumspect than sw313. While in the past the CB has left it up to the student to be honest in following the score choice policies of schools, there is nothing to say that pressure from schools might change this practice. All the CB would have to do is indicate on the official score report whether score choice was used or not.</p>

<p>May I throw a similar question into the ring? </p>

<p>If an applicant takes the same subject multiple times, would colleges that do NOT honor score choice disregard the lower score(s)? Or does this policy vary from school to school?</p>

<p>College board doesn’t let you only send in one of your scores from a subject test. You can choose by subject, but not by test date.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s not the way I interpret this:</p>

<p>[SAT</a> Score Choice - Choose the Scores You Want To Send To Colleges](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I read “individual test” as meaning any single Subject test on any date, not all test dates for a single Subject.</p>

<p>First, you need to determine the exact score choice policy for the colleges to which you intend to apply and for most it is on their websites. That is because a number that have adopted an anti-score choice policy apply it to SAT but not SAT IIs for which you can still choose which scores to send.</p>

<p>Second, as to whether a college will learn you exercised score choice, the answer is not from the College Board, the testing agency. However, many high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript that is sent to colleges. Also, what are you going to do with a college application question that asks you to list all your scores?</p>

<p>Third, score choice allows you to send only the scores you choose to send and you can choose to send one chemistry score even if you have taken that test twice.</p>
