If I retook an SAT ii, is it required to list it on my CommonApp?

The first score was lower than the second, so I'm hoping the answer is no.

All your scores get sent to colleges whether or not you list them. At least that is what I've been led to believe.

Yeah, I think that's the case.

But I don't know if on the Common App you can list your HIGHEST score on that sat ii.

That belief is incorrect. I think all students with online SAT accounts can check a copy of their score report (unofficial, of course) online, but I may be wrong in this belief. Your score report will have all of your scores from ninth grade on for both the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) and SAT Subject Tests (SAT II).

So would it be considered as false reporting if I put my higher SAT ii on my self-report on the CommonApp?

List your highest scores. But realize that when you send official scores (if you are you HS '09) all SAT scores are sent. HS class of '10 and beyond, you can select which scores are sent. IMO, CB is scrambling to compensate for ever decreasing reliance on their tests.

^^^^ CB is also trying to get you to test the SAT I/II 100000000000 times so they can get more moneys

I think it's lame. I only took the SAT i once because I don't want to get a lower score on my 2nd testing. Now people can take it a jillion times and get higher scores. Not fair.

It isn't about fairness but about College Board finding another way to increase their cash flow. More test = more cash receipts.

Meaning that people will just take every chance they can each test date, and eventually every person at Harvard will have an 800 on every subject test (save for foreign language), or at least they'll expect you to have high scores in more than just 3 of them. If I had this opportunity, I would have taken the SAT at least 4-5 times and taken subject tests whenever I wasn't taking the SAT. It's going to make admissions a lot harder though.
