When do I need to send SAT/Transcript? Same time as I submit the Common App or earlier since it takes time for the college board to send the SAT score? Does SAT need to be requested or received by the college before the deadline?
For many schools, the transcript will be sent by your HS GC, but check school’s websites.
For test scores, you also have to check each college’s website to see if they allow self-reporting of test scores. If they do, no need to pay to send official scores. The school you ultimately matriculate to will likely require an official score.
This list is pretty up-to-date for schools that allow self reporting:

Thank you! How about AP Scores?
I would still follow each college’s directions but generally you just self report AP scores on your app. Only report 4s and 5s. You can report 3s at schools that give credit/placement for 3s.
Thank you very much!
Most are self report for scores for AP, SAT, and ACT. Save your money for sending scores until you are in and enrolling unless the school requires them.
They do want transcripts for any dual credit classes you are listing though. Make sure to do that.
You school counselor will send your transcript and LORs. Follow their directions.
