About Score Choice

Will schools know that I conceal some of the scores?
I mean if I choose not to send the score of a particular test, will the collegeboard's report still show all the tests I have taken and just leave some scores(those I choose not to send) blank, or will it just show those tests I choose to send the scores?

I think it makes a lot diffenence, as colleges generally dislike applicants deliberately concealing some of their info.

I notice that for some colleges(like UCLA),when I use score choice, there will be a message saying that the College requires applicant to send all his scores.But I can still choose not to send some of the scores(just that a box will appear to warn me of checking the college's score use policy), right? What will be the consequences if I insist on not sending some of the scores? Will the College know that?

I took 3 subject tests in June and got the following result:
Maths LV2 800
World History 750
US History 660

Obviously, I dont want to submit my June US History test score; I am going to retake it in Oct(expecting a score of>750), in addition to taking the Physics test.

Many thanks~

Based on what I've read about score choice, I am nearly certain that when you choose to use it, the tests whose scores you choose not send will not show up in anyway to the admissions officers. As far as they can tell, the only tests you have taken are the ones you chose to send.
Also based on reading around, I believe that the colleges that require all test scores really have no way of enforcing this demand. There is no way for them to know you have chosen to use score choice except in rare instances when they do some sort of more in depth check. Other than that I think they are just holding you to your word that you have indeed submitted all of your scores and not used score choice. If it was discovered that decided to "illegaly" use score choice, I would think you would immediatley be rejected/rescinded, but nothing more sever than that (not to say that isn't severe).

Make sure test scores on not on your high school transcript.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.
I know some colleges want to you to report every test you've ever taken and every score you got. Some don't care.

But I was thinking, how is this college going to know I didn't send them one of my tests?

I don't know.
