Options:


You can when applying for the test name up to four colleges to automatically receive your scores when they are released for no extra charge (your “free sends”). Those colleges will then get your score as soon as they are released and will hold them until you apply and then match your application to the scores. You will not know your score before they are sent and many like to know before doing so.
You can at any time after scores come out (including in the fall when you apply to colleges) go on-line into your account at College Board (SAT) or ACT.org (ACT) for the tests and order the tests sent to colleges. You can also do that via a phone call. SAT will send all your tests (if you take more than one including any SAT subject tests), to a college for $10; ACT charges you $10 for each test to send to each college.
With SAT, if you take a test now and then later take another one including another SAT or a subject test, you can use your four free sends for that later test to send both that later test and your earlier tests. With ACT you cannot do that.
