Send Scores: Build Your Score Recipient List

There are two ways to send your scores to colleges, universities or scholarship programs:

  1. During Registration

    You receive four free score reports every time you register for the SAT. We highly recommend that you take advantage of these reports, as additional reports are subject to a fee.

    Also, using registration score reports ensures that test scores are sent to colleges as early as possible. Choosing your score recipients during the registration process ensures that colleges have the most complete set of your information to review for admission as well as scholarship awards, course placement, or selection to a specific program or major. In a recent survey, colleges said that receiving score reports is important to them because it shows which students are interested in their schools.

  2. After Registration

    You can send score reports at any time from your "My SAT" account. The time frames for score delivery vary based upon each institution's method of receiving scores. Please remember that an additional week may be needed for the score recipients to process your scores once they receive them.

    There is a fee for sending score reports after registration. However, if you are a fee-waiver-eligible student, you may have additional flexible score report credits.

Take Control with Score Choice™

We know that you may feel anxious about taking tests. So we've made the SAT experience a little less stressful by giving you an additional way to report your scores to colleges and scholarship programs.

Score Choice gives you the option to choose which scores (by test date for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject Tests™) you send to colleges.

Score Choice can be used for any existing scores with your four free registration score reports or any additional score reports. You can choose scores from one, several or all test dates, as well as view the score-use practices of participating colleges and universities. Colleges and universities will only receive the scores that you send them — your scores will not be released without your specific consent.

Special Circumstances

Flexible score reports for fee-waiver students

If you are eligible for a fee waiver, you can send up to four additional flexible score reports at no charge as part of the SAT Fee-Waiver Service. These flexible score reports:

  • Can be used while you are in high school.
  • Can be ordered at registration or at any time after you take the SAT or an SAT Subject Test.
  • Can be used even if you previously registered for the SAT or an SAT Subject Test without using a fee waiver.

Only four flexible score reports can be used during your testing lifetime, regardless of the number of times you register. Note that fee waivers do not cover rush fees for expedited score reports.

Using the flexible score reports

Before placing your order, determine how many credits you have left by:

  1. Going to My SAT. The number of flexible score reports appears automatically if you have previously registered for the SAT or SAT Subject Tests with a fee waiver.
  2. Calling Customer Service and providing your registration information from your most recent test date.

Rush reporting

Depending on what time of day you submit your rush request, it may take a day or more to process it. Once your request is processed, rush reporting sends your score report within two working days (not counting holidays and weekends) either electronically or by first-class mail, depending on how each institution receives scores. You should check with the college before ordering rush reports, because institutions may not review your scores until their next scheduled delivery date. If you are applying early decision, check to see if the college accepts October and November scores to meet deadlines.

Be sure that your test has been scored before ordering a rush report. If you are sending reports after you've finished high school, see Requesting Old Scores.

Fee

There is an additional fee for this service.
