Sending SAT to colleges

Collegeboard recommends you select colleges to send your scores to before you receive your scores for free. I feel iffy on my first SAT that I took. Should I send it to colleges before I know my score? How much will it affect me if my first SAT was not as good as it could be? Will colleges not consider you because the first SAT you sent to them was not very good, but the other SATs I took improved? Can someone help me with this please?

If the universities you want to apply to super score and accept several scores, then there’s no need for you to worry. You can send your first score and then update your results with your new improved report(s).

However, if you feel like you did really bad, then why risk sending it? Study for the SAT again and directly send your better score.
