<p>Just to clarify -- does the requirement to report all sittings of a test apply to SAT II tests as well? My D would like to report her ACT score and two SAT II subject tests. She has taken 4 or 5 SAT II tests, none more than once. Must you report ALL of the SAT II tests you have taken, or just all sittings of a particular subject test if you took it more than once?</p>
<p>I am assuming you are not required to report any SAT I scores if you are submitting only your ACT and SAT II's -- is that correct?</p>
<p>Columbia requires all test scores from all tests from all sittings. All ACT scores, all SAT I scores, all SAT II scores. You cannot elect not to report a score. The Columbia website explains this quite clearly.</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing! Say I took bio, lit, and chem in separate sittings, but i only want to send bio and lit to the colleges i am applying to. Will colleges still see my chem score?</p>
<p>I’m also wondering the same thing. I took the ACT twice, if I only send my second ACT score, how can they see the other? I really don’t care if they do, but if I send the one from my actstudent account, does that give them access to my complete profile? does the same go for collegeboard? if i send two subject tests, will they get to see my third subject test and my sat1? I just don’t understand how, if i only send certain tests, they can see anything else? Really, my main concern is the extra dough that i have to put down to send all that stuff. Though i do like the requirement because then they can see that the kids at my school who got a 36 took the test four times which is ridiculous</p>
<p>You MUST submit ALL tests scores for ALL tests you have taken. Period.
How can they see? </p>
<p>Well…
(1) I believe you have to list on your application when you took your SATs, ACTs, SAT IIs etc. as well as which test and what you scored.
(2) Some high schools keep track of when you took your SATs/ACTs/SAT IIs and report it as part of your transcript
(3) Colleges may have access (E.g. through your score reports) that tell them how many times you took an individual test</p>
<p>If you want to:
(1) run the risk of being caught and outright rejected because you didn’t send your test scores go ahead. (btw, some ivies send student information to other ivies to check for cross ED applicants, etc.)
(2) If Columbia were to find out after you were admitted and you were say, a senior, they will kick you out.
Then by all means, do not send all of your scores.</p>
<p>But, if don’t want to end up in either of those situations, send ALL of your scores from ALL of your tests - as the Columbia website indicates.</p>
<p>From their website - it seems pretty clear to me:</p>
<p>Columbia’s Testing Policy for Score Choice
Columbia has always expected applicants to report all required standardized testing for which they have sat and will continue to do so for 2011-2012.The application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor to determine their suitability for admission. When evaluating applicants, we consider only the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT (or the highest Composite on the ACT), and the two highest required SAT Subject Tests, always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation.</p>
<p>Students should officially submit all scores from all sittings of the SAT and SAT Subject Tests. Students may submit only their highest ACT composite score officially and self-report other ACT scores by adding them to the Additional Information section of the application. While the College Board sends a cumulative record of all testing for one fee, the ACT requires separate fees for each test date; we do not want ACT takers to incur greater costs, so applicants may officially report only their highest ACT Composite (with subscores) and self-report all other ACT scores.</p>
