<p>If I am not superscoring my SAT scores, do I need to report my first SAT score? Can I “forget” my first time if I am not using any particular section for ScoreChoice? Thanks!</p>
<p>First time: Reading: 630, Math: 650,Writing 510
Second time: Reading: 720, Math: 770, Writing: 620</p>
<p>Colleges don’t know if you are using Score Choice or not. They can say they want all your scores but there’s no way for them to verify that you’ve actually given them all your scores.
So yep, you can “forget” your first time. And congrats on such the big improvement!</p>
<p>It depends on the school. Some colleges require all your testing background.</p>
<p>Top schools that DO NOT Accept Score Choice:</p>
<p>UNIVERSITIES:</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Georgetown University
University of California campuses
University of Pennsylvania
Rice University
Stanford University
Yale University</p>
<p>LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES:</p>
<p>Colgate University
Harvey Mudd College
Macalester College
Pomona College</p>
<p>Others:</p>
<p>All SUNY and CUNYs</p>

<p>@xFirefirex Thanks! I was worried that I might have to take the SAT again to prove it wasn’t a fluke. The big difference the second time around was that I actually slept the night before. </p>
<p>Also, if they found out that I “forgot” my first score, is that a big no-no?</p>
<p>Yep! If they find out you didn’t submit all your scores and they accepted you, they could rescind your acceptance or if you’re already enrolled in the college, they could kick you out.
However, the chances of them finding out or taking such drastic measures are slim. As long as you don’t let it slip to an AdCom after your acceptance or brag about it to everyone on campus, you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Or how about having some integrity and playing by the rules? OP, do what is required by the schools you are applying to and let the chips fall.</p>
<p>@suzy100 My bad. I thought all-scores only correlated to the scores you used for score choice, I thought that you could throw out scores similar to canceling scores rightafter the SAT. </p>
<p>For ex. I thought all scores was a way to prevent students from going
reading: 800 math: 200 writing:200
reading: 200 math: 800 writing: 200
reading: 200 math: 200 writing:800
and only reporting the 800s across the board.</p>
<p>Due to privacy laws, your testing status and scores cannot be revealed without your permission, so schools cannot get testing info without you sending it. When my younger D was applying to colleges, score choice was in effect for the first time. There was so much confusion about what each school’s policy was that it was near impossible to keep up with the criteria for each school. Plus for some schools, during D’s testing year (junior year) a school may have had one policy in place but by the time it was senior year (and scores needed to be sent), that policy may have changed. By that time D had decided to sit for the SAT a 4th time–knowing that she was using score choice at all her schools and dropping her earliest SAT score. In the end, it did not matter in her particular case, since she applied ED to a school with score choice, but the situation and changing policies were confusing and unfair.</p>
<p>Slightly off topic - but does Score Choice extend to SAT Subject Tests as well?</p>
