<p>Okay, I have searched around but it seems to be extremely difficult to find objective and accurate information on this. I am utterly baffled about colleges and which SAT 2's they see. I have received very many conflicting and downright contradictory pieces of information - all from supposedly trustworthy sources. Consider the following hypothetical scenario:</p>
<p>In one sitting, I take the US History, Math 1, and Math 2 SAT 2's; I do very well on US History but am not content with my math scores. Can I retake the math(s) whenever, and then pick and choose which scores I submit to colleges? Or do colleges see ALL of my SAT 2 scores regardless? Or, most recently, I have heard that you can cancel all the scores from one sitting, but would that mean that I would have to submit all three tests from this sitting or submit none at all and then have to retake them all? </p>
<p>Are any of the above even remotely correct?</p>
<p>Thanks. </p>

<li><p>If you cancel your scores from a sitting, all the scores are cancelled. You can’t wait to see what the scores are before you cancel. You only have a short window to do so. If you think you did great on math but lousy on history and want to keep the math and dump the history . . . sorry. They all get flushed. You effectively cancel the date of the scores and all scores on that date are cancelled.</p></li>
<li><p>Picking and choosing which scores to send. Some colleges (like Stanford) want to see everything you ever did on the SAT. Others will let you pick and choose what you send. Just be careful, however, because on the College Board site itself the default option is to send everything! You need to go in and pick and choose for those schools that allow pick and choose.</p></li>

<p>Okay, thanks. I heard from another trusted source that the 10 or so schools that make you send all scores, do so under an “honor system.” They apparently have no possible way of finding out your scores or how many times you did SAT 2’s, and it is illegal for them to obtain them from the College Board (and College Board will not provide them unless you send them). Is this true? If these colleges request only based on an “honor system,” what is to stop someone from lying, and why would anyone not lie? </p>
<p>"what is to stop someone from lying, and why would anyone not lie? "
If you have to ask, you won’t understand, but there is something called personal integrity.</p>
<p>Lying is ethical and morally acceptable in my books, as everyone is given a fair and equal opportunity to lie. Only some decide to take advantage of this opportunity. If I do not take up the opportunity, then it is my loss and someone else’s gain. Might is right. Anyway, I don’t mean to start a philosophical discussion here. Thanks for the quick info.</p>
<p>Cheers.

<p>Even for Stanford that wants all score, you are allowed to do score choice in SAT2.
More important, it makes no sense to take both Math1 and Math2.</p>
