Sending Scores on Common App

<p>Hi! I have some questions about sending in scores for ACT, SAT, and SAT Subject Test with Common App.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I have taken the ACT twice, but I only want to send the second one because I did better on it for all sections.
Do I still need to report both when the Common App asks "Number of ACT scores you wish to report?"</p></li>
<li><p>If I self-report my Subject Test Scores on the Common App, do I NEED to actually send all the scores I've self-reported?</p></li>
<li><p>I took the SAT once and don't want to submit it, but do I NEED to self-report that and actually send the score?</p></li>
<li><p>Fee Waiver question: I got fee waivers to send in 4 ACT scores for free, but I want to send my ACT score to more than that, and is it possible to get more waivers? As far as I know, you can't get extra, but does someone a way to get more waivers?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I hope the questions aren't confusing or misleading.
I might ask more later on, but I will be happy if someone can help me with these for now! Thank you.</p>

<p>Am I in the right thread?
I don’t know how to move the post if this isn’t in the right place…</p>

<p>Bump!</p>

<p>You can report whatever you want on the common app - no school is actually using those numbers anyways. However, make sure the schools you’re applying to allow you to use score choice. If not, you have to send them all scores from all test dates (you can still omit on the common app, however)</p>

<p>Yes, virtually no colleges will take self reported scores. If they did, students would lie.</p>

<p>Basically the same answer as #1. You don’t have to self report anything. However, make sure you see if the college allows score choice, or else you must send all scores from all tests.</p>

<li>Fee Waiver question: I got fee waivers to send in 4 ACT scores for free, but I want to send my ACT score to more than that, and is it possible to get more waivers? As far as I know, you can’t get extra, but does someone a way to get more waivers?</li>

<p>I’m not sure. I doubt it, but this would be a question you should ask ACT directly. They have a live chat, an email, and a phone number. Pick one.</p>
