<p>I am the first in my family to apply to prep schools and am doing so without the help of my parents, and am not sure how to send standardized test scores to multiple schools. Each of the schools I am applying to offers their school testing codes to send scores directly to the school, but how do I send scores to multiple schools?</p>
<p>When you sign up for the test there will be an option to send to multiple schools. Just enter the code for each school. If you have any questions you can contact the organization (usually SSAT for most schools for 9th or 10th grade, some accept ISEE).</p>
<p>You sign up for the tests online. Each online site offers explanations about the test, and test procedures.</p>
<p>For the SSAT: [SSAT</a> - Online Guide](<a href=“http://www.ssat.org%5DSSAT”>http://www.ssat.org)</p>
<p>For the ISEE: [Independent</a> School Entrance Exam (ISEE) | ERB](<a href=“http://erblearn.org/parents/admission/isee]Independent”>ISEE Test by ERB | Independent School Entrance Exam)</p>
<p>I registered my children online for the SSAT tests, and I remember the procedures fairly well. I think the ISEE is similar — one difference is, you can’t take the ISEE more than once every six months. </p>
<p>Don’t take my words as gospel–read the instructions on each website, as procedures can change.</p>
<p>At any rate, when you sign up for the SSAT, you may sign up at that time to send your scores to the schools you’re applying to, as well as your current school. You can add more schools later.</p>
<p>I recommend you do not list schools to send scores to, except for your current school, before you take the exam. (Unless you’re taking the SSAT exams in December or January, in which case waiting to receive your scores might mean your schools don’t get your score in time to make a decision.)</p>
<p>First, your list of schools may change once you’ve visited a few. What seemed to be a great list in August may be an obsolete list by November–and you may not remember to change score recipients to your new schools. Second, some students are surprised by their SSAT scores. If you set up the recipients ahead of time, those schools will receive your scores. If you wait until after you have seen your scores, you will not worry about the schools receiving scores which don’t represent your best effort.</p>
<p>Thank you all so much. I forgot to mention earlier that I am applying as a junior and am taking the SAT1 rather than the SSAT. Can I send my scores after taking the test?</p>
<p>Yes, but I believe there’s an extra fee if you send the scores after taking the SAT. You receive four free scores when you register for the SAT. After that, each additional score requires a fee: [Services</a> And Fees](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>SAT Test Fees – SAT Suite of Assessments | College Board)</p>
<p>You can find the school’s SAT college codes here: [SAT</a> Code Search - Find College Codes, High School, Country, Major - CEEB](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>K–12 School Code Search – SAT Suite | College Board).</p>
<p>The College Board site will provide information for all sorts of questions. Many, many services are available–and there’s usually a fee involved. It is possible to get fee waivers, so if you qualify, read those parts of the website carefully.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I very much admire your initiative to apply to prep schools without the help of your parents. But do you have the SUPPORT of your parents?</p>
<p>The application forms often require Parent Statements, and an ultimately, parents will either have to pay the tuition or apply for financial aid. FA has to be applied for in conjuction with the application. You cannot apply for FA after you have been accepted.</p>
