Score Reporting

  • SAT Score Reporting

    At the time of SAT test registration, you can select 4 free score reports to send to colleges; alternatively, you can request scores to be sent later, at the time of application, for a per-college fee. 

    College Board offers Score Choice, an SAT score reporting feature that allows students to choose which scores from a specific test date to send to colleges. Score Choice is optional, and if students choose not to use it, all scores will be sent automatically.  Be aware that some colleges require students to report scores from all test sittings.  The UC system recommends that students send all scores to avoid any delays.  Check with the admissions department for each college to which you are applying to find out the specific requirements for reporting your SAT scores.

    If you use a fee waiver to register for the SAT, this entitles you to 4 additional free score reports for colleges, at the time of registration. Please note this is 4 total score reports, not 4 per test registration. Also, the SAT registration fee waiver entitles you to 4 college application fee waivers.

    ACT Score Reporting

    When you register for the ACT, you can choose up to four colleges to which ACT will send your scores as part of the basic fee for your test option. If you take the test more than once, you choose which test date results the colleges will receive.  ACT sends scores only for the test date you select.

    If you use a fee waiver to register for the ACT, this entitles you to 4 additional free score reports for colleges, at the time of registration (if you provide valid codes when you register).
