WARNING: Read this before you register for the SAT or the SATIIs, it will save you $$

Test Preparation

<p>Ok I’ve gotten major screwed so as a public service to y’all I’ll help you aviod the mistakes I made. </p>

<p>When you register for the SATI or the SATII they ask you to send scores to colleges. ONLY SEND TO FOUR SCHOOLS, THE ONES YOU GET FOR FREE I sent to 8 schools payed the extra 29 bucks, twice, one for the SATI and once for the SATII. BAD IDEA. I’m not even appling to 2(or more) of the schools I’ve sent scores to. Wait until you are just about to submit you application to send your scores to colleges. This will prevent the CB from stealling more money from you.</p>

2

<p>29 buck for each school after the fourth one? or 29 bucks for all the other 4 schools.</p>

3

<p>You only get the four free score reports if you sign up BEFORE you take the test though. After that you have to pay for every one.</p>

4

<p>question: what did you do if you didn’t have any specific colleges picked yet? send to a few colleges that look interesting?</p>

5

<p>Look to schools that you figure should be safety or match schools.</p>

6

<p>Has anyone else been screwed by college board?</p>

7

<p>I recommend not even sending the free ones until you know what your scores are. What if you totally bombed or something? Wait till you get all your scores together, then send with your apps.</p>

8

<p>What difference does it make? Even if you bombed the test, the school are going to see the scores anyway…</p>

<p>You can also save some money by doing it this way- if you take the SAT first, have it sent to the 4 colleges that don’t require the SAT subject tests, if you have any. Then send the SAT subject tests to the 4 colleges that require them or to ones that you didn’t sent the SAT to. They will get both sets of scores reported on the report.</p>

<p>Good idea, tjmom. </p>

<p>Also, mike, how did you determine which eight schools to send it to if you’re not even applying to two?</p>
