Do Schools Know You've Taken SAT Only Once?

<p>CollegeBoard seems to tiptoe around the issue, and I don’t think that their software is able to determine whether you are required to send all scores to a particular school.

@College Board

Students are encouraged to follow the score-reporting requirements of each college to which they apply, but their scores are not released for admission purposes without their specific consent.

<p>Sounds like a “what, who, me???”</p>

<p>It does not appear that a school can disallow the sending of selected scores:</p>

@College Board

Q: What if students do not abide by a college’s or university’s score-use practice?</p>

<p>A: As a matter of integrity, students are expected to follow college admissions policies, and the same is true with respect to a student’s sending of test scores to colleges. Students are responsible for complying with the admissions requirements of the colleges, universities, and scholarship programs to which they apply.</p>

<p>Q: Is there a loophole that allows colleges to “opt out” of Score Choice?</p>

<p>A: Colleges cannot “opt out of” or “reject” Score Choice. Score Choice is a feature available to students. Colleges set their own policies and practices regarding the use of test scores. The College Board does not release SAT test scores without student consent. This continues under Score Choice. Colleges, universities, and scholarship programs will receive the scores applicants send to them.
