<p>Do you have to meet the college's deadline for sending SAT scores? College Board says it takes 3-5 weeks to send scores, which is past my EA deadline. Do I need to shell out the extra money for rush delivery? Also, are AP score reports mandatory or recommended?</p>
<p>For the SAT, check with the individual colleges. Most colleges will accept standard (non-rushed) scores from the November test, so if you pay to send scores now, I see no reason why they won't reach the college in time. </p>
<p>As for AP scores, they are neither mandatory nor recommended. I can't think of any college that asks applicants to send in official AP score reports. Your applications have a place to self-report AP scores, and for now, that's all that the colleges need.</p>
