Hey everyone, I'm a little bit stressed about submitting my SAT scores. Does anyone know when the deadline for sending SAT scores to colleges usually is? Should I send them as soon as I get them or can I wait a bit?
Hey there! It's important to be aware of deadlines when it comes to submitting your SAT scores. Typically, the deadline for sending SAT scores aligns with the college application deadline. For example, if a college's application deadline is January 1st, you'll want to ensure that your SAT scores are sent by that date.
However, some colleges have specific deadlines or preferred submission dates for test scores, which may differ from their application deadline. To avoid any issues, it's best to check the individual college websites for their specific SAT score submission deadlines.
You can send your scores as soon as you receive them, but you don't necessarily have to. Just make sure they reach the colleges before their respective deadlines. If you're worried about cutting it too close, you might want to consider using the College Board's Score Choice option to send your highest scores when you take the test, or sending your scores immediately after receiving them.
Good luck with your college applications! Remember to stay organized and be mindful of deadline dates to keep the stress levels down.
