Test Score Reporting

Although some students may not notice until it is too late, some high schools are reporting, on the high school transcript, all college entrance scores provided by the testing agency, namely the College Board (SAT) and the American College Testing (ACT) programs.

Prior to sending their transcripts, students should look into whether their school is doing this. At most schools, students do have the opportunity to decide if their scores will be recorded on the transcript. This will be done on an all or none basis.

Regardless as to whether scores appear on a transcript, all scores must also be sent through the appropriate testing agency. When sending scores, students should be sure to take advantage of the College Board Score Choice option when possible. Score Choice gives students the option to choose the SAT scores by test date and SAT Subject Test scores by individual test that they send to colleges, at no additional cost. This gives students more flexibility and control over their scores. Score Choice is optional, and only allowed at certain colleges.
