<p>If I will send my SAT Subject Tests scores to a college which requires "All Scores" as indicated in the SAT Score-Use Practices List, but I use the score choice service to avoid the college from seeing my mediocre scores, what will happen?</p>
<p>Will they know if I misused the service?
Will they see my mediocre scores? I'm curious about this.</p>
<p>nono,</p>
<p>With Subject tests, Score Choice allows you to send whichever scores you want, regardless of test date. </p>
<p>Having said that, unless you’ve taken all of your exams through the college, or they have some other way of tracking how many times you taken the test, the college would never really know how many times you’ve taken the test. They pretty much have to take you at your word when you send your scores. College Board CAN NOT tell a univerisity if you’ve used Score Choice or not. </p>
<p>In short, if a college asks for ALL of your scores… you can send them whatever you’re comfortable with, because they wouldn’t know better about how many times you taken the tests anyway. (Unless, again, you’ve taken the tests through a program with the college or something like that.)</p>
<p>College Board will only send the scores you request. </p>

<p>Text on the web page:</p>
<p>Colleges and universities will only receive the scores that you send them—your scores will not be released for admission purposes without your specific consent.</p>
<p>So after all of that rambling, the point I’m trying to make is, send whatever you want. The college won’t know any better. 
</p>
<p>JP, you are most likely correct. But we do not really know for sure. CB and colleges exchange a lot of information that we do not know about. CB gives names and addresses of students to colleges based on recruiting criteria like scores ranges. That’s how people get on colleges mailing list in the first place. There might be round about way of finding how many times you tested based on these kinds of query and information purchase from colleges like schools asking for names and addresses of all the students in various score ranges after each test. It is unlikely but conceivably possible, so I would not go out on a limb to say that anyone knows for sure.</p>
<p>ttparent,</p>
<p>That is an excellent observation… please, allow me to make this point. </p>
<p>I don’t know if you’ve ever been through the process, but when you request to have scores sent on the CB website, they’ll show you the Score Use practice of the college(s) you’re wanting to send your scores to online (if applicable). If you do not apply the policy that a univerisity requires when you initially send you scores (for example, they require all scores, but you only choose to send a few), they have a nice disclaimer, one that says something along the lines of: </p>
<p>YOU understand the policy of the university, YOU are not adhereing to it, YOU understand that this is what the university needs, CB isn’t responsible for anything afterwards, YOU understand this. (Roughly, :))</p>
<p>So, and maybe I should have mentioned this before, but I would say it is safe to suppose that if you’re applying to a prestigious university, and they are willing to take the time and effort to look for any work-arounds that may give them a clue as to whether or not you aren’t sending all of your scores, then in that case my advice would be to send all of your scores. </p>
<p>And if, somehow, a university finds out that you didn’t meet their criteria… CB isn’t responsible (according to the disclaimer).</p>
<p>Now, just in my experience, I’ve never really heard of it. But, as ttparent accurately suggested, it’s possible that a university could find out (I believe I said something along the lines of unless they have some other way of tracking your scores–perhaps I should have elaborated. :().</p>
<p>Anyways, thanks for keeping me on my toes. :D</p>
<p>One way they may determine that you failed to order CB to send all scrores is that a lot of high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript. So you need to determine what your high school does.</p>
<p>The real issue you face if you fail to send all scores to a school that requires them is what happens if the college does somehow eventually find out you withheld scores (not through College Board but otherwise). That could be considered a misrepresentation in your application to the college which gives them the ability to withdraw any acceptance or even kick you out senior year of college if they find out then.</p>
