SAT Score Reports?

[chongkeat]

I have read most of the posts here regarding the SAT, but I'm still a little bit confused......

So, I plan to ask all my questions as detailed as possible here:
(Hypothetical scenario)
1. I took a SAT I test. After the results are out, the scores are sent to the four colleges that I've chosen. That I understand.

2. My results are bad, so I decided to take another SAT I. This time, I chose four completely different colleges.
2a. Will my previously selected colleges receive the latest scores?
2b. If they won't, then can't some people cheat by doing like I did to check out their results i.e. only choosing to send their score to the previous four colleges if they did well?

3. I now take the SAT II.
3a. Do I still need to specify the same four colleges in my SAT I in order for them to receive both SAT I and SAT II scores?
3b. If I send the SAT II results to four other different colleges, then will they also get my SAT I results?

There.



Oh, ya. Thanks in advance.

2a No. They will not receive it
2b. No, there is no possibility for anyone to cheat there. If you scored badly in the first attempt, unless you do not apply, else there is no way to hide the scores. (In other words, not applying is THE only way to hide your scores)

3a. Yes. If you want your college to receive your SAT score, you will have to send them to the exact 4 colleges.
3b. They will receive whatever SAT tests you have taken (SAT 1 + SAT II included)

Thanks, Vulcan. I still have a few questions though......

2b. No, there is no possibility for anyone to cheat there. If you scored badly in the first attempt, unless you do not apply, else there is no way to hide the scores. (In other words, not applying is THE only way to hide your scores)
I meant cheat, as in choosing not to send the second test scores to their previous four colleges if the second test was worse than the first. So that is a possibility?

3b. They will receive whatever SAT tests you have taken (SAT 1 + SAT II included)
I have taken the SAT I and selected four colleges. But now I want to apply to one more. So you mean that I can just send the SAT II scores to all five and the fifth college will also receive my SAT I?

Erm, I think most colleges will only take a look at your highest scores in SAT I. So if you scored lower in your 2nd attempt, it doesn't matter anyway.

But the 2nd attempt scores will be sent when you decided to send your SAT II scores to the respective colleges

So it means, for your second question, the fifth college will also receive your SAT I
