<p>Does taking more than 3 SAT tests negativily affect you in any way? will colleges know, and does it affect your score report?</p>
<p>im planning to take every single one i can possibly take. Why? CUZ YOU CAN PICK WHICH ONES TO SEND TO COLLEGES!!!</p>
<p>edit: oo just read some colleges require you to send all your scores…</p>
<p>Not unless you’re applying to Ivy’s. Then you have to send in everything.</p>

Does every single ivy require you to send every score??</p>
<p>^ Not really, it’s IMPOSSIBLE for them to know that you used actually used score choice. (Unless your scores are reported on your transcript). However it’s immoral XD</p>
<p>@sAxsKy, false. Harvard, yale, and princeton dont require all. The only prominant ones I can think of that want them all is U Penn and Stanford.</p>
<p>O wow… i actually was thinking about UPenn…</p>
<p>If you have morals, send them all. If you dont… shaheiruddin’s plan works nicely ; )</p>
<p>i think i might just cancel this test cuase i don’t think i improved that much at all… maybe 50-100 points or maybe even decreased…</p>
<p>yale does require all, so i would check on those other ones.
collegeboard’s got a list of every school’s policy</p>
<p>How do the colleges know if you submit them all or not?</p>
<p>And each individual test is like $9.50 to send, so if you took the test 3 times, you would have to pay $28.50 to send all of your scores to one school?</p>
<p>I don’t think it really matters to me though, I don’t plan on applying to Penn, etc…</p>
<p>I love score choice and superscore = D. NU does both of them.</p>
<p>I am helping my son to make a decision whether to taking the SAT again. He got 790, 790, and 720 the first time. The common misconception when talking to school conselors and surfing around the web seems to be that Score choice lets you pick and choose which one of the section scores to send in. That is NOT true. You choose to send all three scores from a given test date. Moreover, each school has its own policy. Some schools will let you submit the scores from your best DATE. Others requires you to send ALL of your scores (dont try to hide, schools have a connection to College Board, and they will find out). Some schools, Harvard included, let you send in all your scores from all your dates and in fact will pick out the best ones from each section. In practice, I do believe most if not all schools actually do that. Having said that, Harvard’s website and I tend to agree that taking more than twice makes little sense because most people do not make meaningful improvements after the second time around. There is a link from the collegeboard.com site that lists the policy of every university in regards to Score choice. Again, most schools let you send in whatever you want and they will pick out the best section scores, but some want you to send in everything and they will decide what to do with them</p>
<p>^ pat your son on the back. he is done with standardized tests!</p>
