Sending ACT scores as a junior...?

<p>Dec 13th was my first time taking the ACT, and when I signed up to register, I picked 3 colleges to send my score to for free...but was that pointless, knowing that I am only a junior and not applying to those institutions until next year? What happens when you do this; do they keep your score so when you apply later, you don't need to send any scores again? I'm just not sure how it works. thanks! also, how do you know if a college actually receives your score or not?</p>

<p>They keep the scores for when you actually apply. You can call them to see if they received your scores.</p>
