ADMISSION TEST SCORES
Some colleges require or recommend that you send scores from tests such as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, or ACT. Colleges accept scores only from the testing organizations themselves. Remember, test scores are just one part of your application!
How to Send Score Reports
SAT/ACT Score Reports
If you did not include a college when you initially registered for the SAT/ACT, then you must send out an official score report directly from the test company to your college.

FAQs
When should I send score reports?
It will take approximately 1-2 weeks for a college to receive your SAT/ACT scores. Therefore, be sure to submit your requests in a timely matter to ensure you meet your college application deadline.
Should I delay applying to colleges if my SAT/ACT is below their published ranges?
In general, we advise to still apply early and to follow up with updated test scores. The admission scores and grades that colleges show on their websites are averages or ranges—not cutoffs. There are students at every college who scored lower (and higher) than the numbers shown. Remember that colleges consider many factors to get a more complete picture of you.
More than a thousand colleges and universities across the country DO NOT use ACT/SAT scores to admit students. FairTest publishes a list that includes institutions that are "test optional," "test flexible" or otherwise de-emphasize the use of standardized tests by making admissions decisions -- without using ACT or SAT scores -- for all or many applicants.
