Sending scores

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

I took the SAT in May and June and at the time of registration I chose my scores to be sent immediately after they’ve been released. Now, I’ve decided to take the October SAT as well and as I wish to choose the same option regarding the sending of scores I just went on my SAT page and stumbled upon the following:

I selected 4 universities that I’d like to receive my scores for free. However, Collegeboard automatically puts “Send all scores” in the “Test scores to send” section. I clicked on “Choose scores” and noticed that along with my October SAT, the results from the exams I took in May and June had also been selected. I deselected them since I checked last week under “See sent scores” and it stated that all of my past scores had been sent to all 4 universities. Then, before confirming the curret order, I checked again and clicked on “Your selected scores”, the October exam pops up and just above that I see, “THIS COLLEGE OR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT YOU SEND ALL SCORES”. Now, should I select all scores that I’ve got to be sent again along with the ones from October or should I select the October SAT scores only? Thank you!

Well, some universities super score SAT scores so maybe your universities do that and that’s why you’re getting that option? If the one or more of your colleges (or a scholarship program you’re applying for) requires that you send all scores, then you probably should. But I say that it’s really up to you and how good your scores are, so it’s up to you.

I think I didn’t explain properly - my scores must have already been sent, that is, from my previous exams. It says so, in fact, under “Sent scores”. However, I am trying to understand why I’m getting the option to choose my scores to be sent again along with my upcoming ones, like, is that necessary when I get that message?

Oh, okay I see. I think it might be that all your scores, sent or not, were included in the “send all scores” option because, well, it includes “all” your scores whether upcoming or not. That may just be a bug in the system (imo, College Board has a lot of those). If you want to only send your upcoming scores, then I guess you’re going to have to manually select your October scores /only/.

Alright, thank you!
