When to send standardized test scores?

<p>I'm done with SAT and ACT tests and have decided to send scores for both tests. But should I send them now, before submitting the CommonApp, or should I wait until after sending my applications (mid-December)?</p>

<p>Really doesn't matter either way. The colleges will start a file for you once they get any part of an app. Probably best to send them when you apply.</p>

<p>But if I send them in mid-december with my Common Apps, will they arrive in time for Jan.1 deadlines?</p>
