For UCs, you send scores to only one of the UCs to which you apply (you can choose whichever one you want) and others will get them from the one. For CSUs you send SAT scores to CSUMentor which has its own code and all CSUs will have it. For ACT you send ACT to any one of the CSUs. After score comes out and that CSU gets it, you then go into your CSU application file on-line and have that score transferred to any other CSUs to which you applied.

You do not have 8 free sends with SAT. You get 4 with each test. You must name the schools in your test application before scores come out to get your free sends. Once score comes out the free sends are gone for that test. However, SAT always sends all scores it has for you when you order any sent unless you choose to withhold a score. Thus when you take the next test, that test score and your prior test score will be sent to any of the four colleges you name in the application for the test that is coming up.

ACT also has four free sends a test and like SAT you must name the colleges in your application for a test before the test score comes out to exercise the free sends. If you did not do that for the prior test, you lost those four free sends. You can name four colleges for your next test but ACT unlike SAT sends only test ordered when it sends a test. Thus, the only thing that will be sent is that new test score. To send a score you already have you must go on-line and order it sent for a fee that is charged for each test per college.
