<p>Hello all. So I'm just about finishing up my junior year of high school, and I recently took the SAT (in May) and the Subject Tests (in June). My regular SAT scores I've decided to wait to send until October when I take it again and hopefully improve some. However, my question concerns the subject tests. I am satisfied with my math level II score (790), and I am wondering if I can send it without the scores from my other two tests that I took that day. I am planning on retaking the physics and French tests in November. If so, would it be okay to send my math score now, even though I'm not a senior yet? It would be nice to use some of the free score reports. </p>
<p>Also, one more question: When should I make an account for the Common App (I heard they were changing it this year)?</p>
<p>College Board permits you, after scores are released, to send to colleges scores for fewer than the number of subject tests you took on a particular date. Thus, once scores are released, CB will allow you to exercise score choice and withhold the two subject test scores while sending the math score.</p>
<p>However, what CB allows you to do is not the issue. A number of colleges require you to send all SAT scores and some of those also require all subject test scores. Thus, you need to check the rules of each college to determine whether you can withhold a score. Also, before withholding a score from any college, you better check what your high school does when it sends an official transcript to colleges to which you apply for admission. Many high schools put all your scores on your transcript and thus preventing CB from sending it will not be enough to prevent a college from learning the scores if your high school is one of those.</p>
<p>You can just wait to send scores in the fall. You could send the math now but it won’t be free. Those four free sends you had with the May test and then again with the June test have now expired. Those free send colleges must be designated in your test registration by no later than the 9th day after you took the particular test, i.e., you must make those designations before you learn of your scores.</p>
<p>I am not sure when the new common app will be released. It is usually released on-line August 1 annually.and thus you can make an account once it is out.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, that clears up a lot. I will find out what my school does.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if when a high school does send my scores on my transcript (which I think it does), will I still have to pay to sent the scores through the College Board?</p>
<p>Also, if a school does see all of my scores and let’s say that they see my 650 on the physics, in June, but then I achieve a much better score in November - would the school be put off by the lower score or would they just focus on the later high score?</p>
<p>Most colleges require official scores from the College Board, which includes any college that requires or recommends subject tests… Some other colleges do accept scores off of your transcript. </p>
<p>Colleges that require subject test scores require two and most of those use only the highest two for admission and thus the lower scores are not considered. Harvard and Princeton say they will consider any sent but they do not require all scores and they do not rely on scores that are only on a transcript. Colleges that recommend but do not require subject test scores generally consider only those scores they believe help you in the admission process.</p>
