What does it mean by "sending scores to schools?"

<p>I do the ACT every time, but I never "send score to colleges" because I'm afraid that it'll be a bad score</p>

<p>when i apply for college, i just have to put the date i took the ACT, right? and they'll automatically know/check my ACT score?</p>

<p>no... u then have to PAY to send it to the schools</p>

<p>so I HAVE TO say "send this score to Upenn"</p>

<p>otherwise...the ACT will not count during admissoins?</p>

<p>No I think he means that it is free when you say you want the scores to be sent. (this is a risk since you never know what you have)</p>

<p>But, when you want to send a score you have already taken, you have to pay.</p>

<p>thanks for clarifying for me ;) and yes if you want to do it for free, designate first... i've been doing it since freshman year cuz i was unaware that it always got sent... i dodged several bullets cuz my tests weren't horrible lol</p>

<p>how much does it cost, approx. does anyone know?</p>

<p>People who are accepted to Upenn are usually intelligent enough to figure out how to send scores..</p>

<p>i didnt know how to send scores</p>

<p>i'm stupid, have a 1000 SAT, and i have low IQ, i think i have ADD too</p>

<p>it doesnt mean penn's not going to accept me</p>

<p>According to the ACT website, they charge $7 per test date per report to send score reports. This means, unlike the SAT, the score reports are not cumulative and you must tell them which test date's score you want to send. </p>

<p>However, like the SAT, when you register, you can send a score report to 4 colleges for free (but it will not include past test scores).</p>
