UC Berkeley sending SAT scores

I understand that the Berkeley deadline for sending SAT scores is Dec 31, but I am not sure if the scores have to be IN Berkeley by Dec 31, or they have to be sent prior to Dec 31.
Also, the Dec 1 administration releases scores on Dec 20, and I would like to report those scores separately from my already standing score (there is this inevitable concern about a possible lower score, even though I am confident I improved). If I report those as soon as they come out, will they be available to Berkeley for consideration?
Also, I could send scores when available, but that will also send at Dec 20, and I want to make sure that at least my reported scores on the application make it by the deadline.
If someone has applied and been accepted to Berkeley who has had a similar dilemma could tell me about their experiences and actions, it would be immensely helpful. Thank you in advance!
