Question about sharing SAT scores with colleges - do they need all of them?

A bit stressed here, folks. I've taken the SAT a couple of times and I wanna know, do colleges require all the scores from every time I've taken it? Or can I just send my best score? I have one test that went kinda meh and I'm not eager to share that one lol

Understanding score submission policies is definitely important, and I can see why you'd be stressed. Here's the thing: it really does depend on the college. Some colleges have a 'superscore' policy, where they'll take your highest section scores from different test dates to create a new, combined highest score. In this case, you would need to submit all your scores to take advantage of that. On the other hand, there are also schools that only require your highest total score from a single sitting, and if that's the case for the colleges you're applying to, you can just send your best score. Just make sure to check each college's testing policy on their admissions website. And don't worry too much about one lower score; many students have an off day with standardized testing, and colleges understand that.
