Sending SAT Scores

<p>I was ready to order SAT scores to be sent to the colleges and found that you cannot eliminate the SAT II scores from what you are sending. If you are sending SAT I and have taken a SAT II, they all get sent. My son did well on the SAT II, so that is not a problem - we were just not going to send that score to the schools that did not require it. We thought we could pick and choose who the SAT IIs got sent to. So here is the question.... he is taking two more SAT IIs in October. If he asks that those scores get sent to four schools, thereby having them sent for free, willl the schools receive his SAT Is as well, or will they only receive the SAT IIs for the exams taken in October? </p>

<p>For schools who do not require the SAT II, and whose applications are not due until January 1, is it best to send out the SAT I scores now just in case he does not do well in his two remaining SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>After he takes his SAT IIs in October, if he requested the scores to be sent to four schools, those schools will receive his new SAT IIs, his old SAT IIs and his SAT I. In other words, they will receive ALL of the SAT tests he has taken.</p>

<p>In answer to the second part of your question, yes. If they don't require the SAT II and you're going to have to pay to send them anyway (assuming you have more than 4 schools you're sending to, with the first 4 being "free") then go ahead and send them now. They will keep them on file or your son.</p>

Yes. Every time you send an SAT report, it will include your full roster of test scores.

Yes, this is a good strategy. Only downside is paying for extra score reports (after you have seen the new scores and decided whether to send).</p>

<p>If we send SAT II scores to colleges they also receive our SAT II scores right? Then why the hell do we have to send the SAT I scores separately? CB is such a monopoly...</p>

<p>if i take the sat I in october, and before i take it i sign up with all the schools that i want to recieve my scores, i think that will send all of the rest of my previous scores as well, right (my previous sat I and sat IIs)? </p>

<p>and also, will the report get there before my november first deadline, or is it better to send my previous scores now and the new scores later?</p>

<p>ajayc: You only have to pay for a score report once - it will include both your SAT I and SAT II scores.</p>

<p>Black-Out grl: If you list the schools you want to send your scores to as part of your four free score reports, then they will get your new October score as well as all your older scores. If you <em>pay</em> for your scores to be sent before your October scores are released, then they will only include the previous scores. As for the November 1st deadline, check with the schools you're applying to about their policy for October tests. Most schools will just tell you to have the scores sent ASAP but not to rush them. Many schools even accept November scores for EA/ED and January scores for RD.</p>

<p>Well I think I am missing something here...</p>

<p>I will be appearing for my SAT I in October and SAT II in November. So if I just send my SAT II score reports to RD colleges, I don't need to send my SAT I separately? :eek:</p>

<p>thanks so much, i will definitely check with my school! :)</p>

<p>You shouldn't have to, ajayc, as your SAT I score from October will be listed on your report from Nov, along with your new SAT II scores. You would only need to send it separately if there were some deadline you were trying to meet for the SAT I score and the November score report would get there too late. Otherwise, you should be fine just sending the later report.</p>
