Score receipients?

<p>When the collegeboard.com site says you're sending your scores to some place, what does that mean? What are the colleges going to do with it once they receive it? I mean, I'm not even applying to any of the universities yet and my score isn't all that great.</p>

2

<p>don't send until you actually start applying to colleges</p>

3

<p>will the colleges not accept it?</p>

4

<p>anyone?? why don;t send untill i start applying to colleges?</p>

5

<p>So that you can send your latest scores... if you take it again you'd have to resend and each is college is $8 ... it just works against you, its best to wait</p>

6

<p>No, isn't like the first 4 colleges free but you add on the cash if you want to send to more?</p>

<p>And what do they do with the scores? Do they keep them if you plan on taking the SATs again?</p>

<p>I don't think sending in your scores early will be of any advanage. I don't know what they do with the scores before you apply. I know that colleges keep a record once you send in your application, so they can add test scores to your file later on. </p>

<p>I suspect most of you will apply to more than 4 colleges, so like FrddyGV said, the price adds up if you retake old tests or take new tests later on.</p>

<p>Cali45, u said the colleges keep a test record once i sent in my application so like if i send my score to the first 4 colleges which are free is okay?</p>

9

<p>You could always save those free ones for when you apply to colleges.</p>

<p>Actually, I think you'll find a much better answer to your question if you call collegeboard or a college you're interested in applying. =P</p>

<p>but CB says i just have 8 days to change my score recipients...so does it mean i have to decide which schools to send to in 8 days or i'll permantely lose the free choices? :(</p>

11

<p>Wait, so if I send my scores in this year as a junior, I no longer have any more free score recipients for my next taking of the test?!?!?!</p>

12

<p>No, you get 4 free scores sends PER SAT Reasoning Test.</p>

13

<p>what if i have 4 scores that i didnt use from a previous test, then i take them again in june, do i then have 8 free scores or only 4</p>
