How do colleges receive my SAT or ACT scores?

Posted by Kelly Selby in Mar, 2014

You may choose the colleges that you wish to receive your scores when you register for the SAT or ACT. Four colleges are included with your registration (i.e. the mailing fee is free), if you specify them by your test day. You may also select additional colleges online for an extra fee. However, while it is tempting to take advantage of the free mailings, rather than pay later, we recommend NOT sending any scores until you see them. You should only have the scores sent to you and your high school. Later, when you have all of your scores, you can release just the ones you want sent.

Your high school counselor may also send the test scores for you. Please check with the College Guidance office at your school.
