<p>I'm a junior taking the SAT soon.</p>
<p>When I signed up on the SAT, it gave and still gives me the option to send SAT scores to colleges, with 4 for free and the rest for a charge.</p>
<p>Is this the way they get to colleges for admissions? I always thought the official admissions SAT scores were sent along with applications. </p>
<p>If so, does it matter when I send them, as long as it is before I apply? I know to choose 4 now since they are free, but if I end up applying to a school that's not one of those 4, I can just go online and pay the fee to send it to them when I apply next school year, right? So there's no reason to send any beyond the 4 free ones right now?</p>
