Reporting number of SATs taken
Hi,
On the Common App testing tab, there's a dropdown answer for "Number of past SAT scores you wish to report"; I'm only reporting my score from one sitting, so that's what I put. However, when viewing the PDF of my Common App, under SAT it says "Taken: 1", but I've taken it three times. Which should I list under the question, as it sounds like it asks one thing but seems to be displaying another?

It's obvious that you want your best score to be considered, and that's what is going to happen even if you submit all previous scores. I'd just write all three. Besides, you can't hide the other scores; they'll eventually show up in the SAT Score Report sent to universities by the Collegeboard.
Hope this helps!

But it doesn't let you enter other scores, it just lists that as an option. I'm not asking how many to report, just how to answer the drop down question on top of the question page — hope this clarifies my question!
