<p>sry if this is a stupid question... </p>
<p>how do you report test scores to colleges??</p>
<p>theres usually a place to write them down on the application, but what about the official score reports?? when r u supposed to send them??</p>
<p>what about ap grades??</p>
<p>When you apply to take a test, you can fill in some colleges to receive the scores and the scores will be automatically sent to those colleges without additional charge. As to any colleges you do not name on the application, you will need to contact the testing agency (College Board for SAT and AP and ACT for the ACT) and order the tests sent to the college. You can find info on how to do so and the cost at collegeboard.com and act.org.</p>
<p>As to many schools you will want to order them sent (if not automatically sent because the school was on your app) about the same time you fill out your app for admission or even a little before. You should allow at least two weeks from date of order for the score to get to the college; usually, it takes less than that but it is better to be safe. Also, a number of colleges accept scores only submitted in bulk (all sapplicants at once) on dates they designate to the testing agencies and thus if you order them for that college, they will be sent electronically on the bulk distribution date for that college.</p>
<p>You should note that a number of colleges, particularly a number of public universities, do not even require the official score from the testing agency for the purpose of deciding admission but instead will take a photocopy from you or rely on what is reported on your high school transcript (majority of high schools place your scores on the transcript). Once you are admitted, those colleges usually then require the official score from the testing agency to verify what was sent before.</p>
<p>I haven't personally heard of schools that don't require an official SAT/ACT score report for the admissions process, but no school requires an official AP score report when you apply. For AP scores, you can selectively list your scores on your applications (there's a place for AP scores), and you only send in your score report after you decide which college to attend.</p>
<p>As for SAT and ACT score reports, drusba's advice is good. There is one slight difference between SAT and ACT reports: while the SAT reports are cumulative (report 6 most recent SAT I and 6 most recent SAT II scores), when you send an ACT report, you choose which score to send to colleges.</p>
<p>thanx for the info
i still have a couple of questions though</p>
<p>when am i supposed to specify which colleges i want the scores to b sent to?? im gonna take the sat this year (im a rising junior) but i dont know where im gonna apply or anything. oh, and im probably gonna retake it later. </p>
<p>is there any way to send all my sat and sat II tests at once?? or should i list colleges for every single test i take??</p>
<p>thank u so much 4 your help!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>When you apply for the SAT there is a section to fill in colleges that you want the scores sent to. You do not have to fill it in. You can always just separately order scores later. However, ordering them later costs extra dollars and designating them to be sent on the app does not. </p>
<p>If you intend to retake any SAT test or simply take the SAT one date and SAT II's another, you can wait to designate on your app for the second (or even later) test the colleges you want to receive your scores. The College Board (which controls the SAT) always sends every SAT and SAT II score it has on file for you whenever it sends any score. Thus, designating a college on your second test means it will automatically receive your second test score and first test score.</p>
