Do I have to send bad scores to Stanford?

<p>The website says to submit all SAT scores, but I took the SAT twice and did worse the second time I took it. Everything just decreased about 10 points. Do I have to send it? It seems pointless. The only thing it could show is that my test taking skills deteriorated a month after I took it the first time.</p>

<p>If you are asked to submit all scores, yes, you have to submit all scores. I don’t see your reasoning for why you should be exempt from this rule. And to be honest, if your scores decreased by ten points, that says nothing about your skills, and everything about your luck that day and the alignment of the universe.</p>

<p>You should submit them. -10 points not not reflect a deterioration; it is more like a confirmation score. +10 would not help. Don’t worry about it.</p>
