Unlike PSAT scores, SAT scores ar NOT reported to the high school.

Picking and choosing which set of SAT scores to send to a college is, however, difficult. The College Board will forward all scores (ie: current and prior tests) to colleges. So if you take the SAT in March and June, the schools you designate to receive your June score will also receive the March score. But schools to which the student sent his/her March scores will not automatically receive the June scores. So, if a student wanted to hedge his/her bets, s/he would send out the March scores, take the June exam and only report the June scores if they were stronger than the March scores.
