Sending SAT scores

<p>Do schools only accept official SAT scores sent by College Board?
I know that you are allowed to send scores to 4 schools for every SAT you write, but what if I wanted to see my score first before I sent it? Would I then have to pay to send the scores? Or am I allowed to self report scores to Colleges and such?</p>

<p>Everybody self reports on their application, but colleges require more than that.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that some colleges accept test scores reported on HS transcripts, but the vast majority require Official Score Reports sent by the CB. College Admissions websites generally state very specifically what they will accept for scores.</p>

<p>Yes, if you want to see your scores first, you will pay to have them sent. But this can be a relatively small price to pay if your schools use Score Choice and you get some scores that are lower than you’d like them to see.</p>
