How to Send SAT Scores to Colleges
Every option for sending your SAT scores to colleges, including free score sends, Score Choice, and how superscoring interacts with your submissions.
Free Score Sends
You get four free score sends within nine days of your test date. After that, each send costs a fee. If you know your college list, use the free sends.
Score Choice
Score Choice lets you pick which test dates to send. Some colleges require all scores, others accept your best — read each school's policy before sending.
The Right Move
If you plan to retake, consider skipping the free sends so you can send only your best result later. The retake fee is usually worth it.
