<p>I am slightly confused on how to best take advantage of Score Choice. I have taken the SAT 3 times including the Oct. 10 test. All of my scores for the second testing were much better than my scores for the first testing, and I am almost positive that all of my scores from the Oct. 10 test will be better than the ones from my second testing (probably by a significant amount). Most colleges say that they only consider the best scores accross testing dates, and therefore "strongly reccomend" sending all of my scores. However, I am not sure that this is really the best thing to do for me because there are such big differences in my scores from the different testing dates, and I already know for sure that none of my scores from the first test are my best. Furthermore, when I go to edit the scores that I am going to send to colleges, collegeboard does not automatically include my first set of tests, as none of those socres are my best in any section, even though the college strongly recommends that I send all of my scores. Because of all this I do not know whether to send all of my scores, as the colleges "strongly recomend", whether to send the last two, as CB automatically does in accordance to the colleges' testing policy, or whether just to send the last scores, as I am almost positive that all of them will be my best scores/section, and by a significant amount. </p>
<p>I would not be so hesitant to just send all of my scores as the colleges recomend if it weren't for the fact that that there are such big differences (my scores from test date #1 to #2 went up 290 points, and I think my test results from test #3 will also be quite significantly better than test #2) I really can't see how sending my first scores could benefit me in any way.</p>
<p>An important tangent question that would help me a lot is if there is any way for colleges to know if you aren't sending all of your scores.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
