Yes, Chenchaun. I realize all the possibilities. I was trying to distill the document into two main themes, for the sake of those who did not care to read it. My main point was - no college says that they average the scores, which may be a concern to those with lower-than-they-would-like subtests from SATs taken before high school. Some colleges ask for all scores, but "consider" (whatever that means) the highest scores as explained in the various combinations above.

I also wanted to add - I looked at several selective colleges' websites regarding SATs. One college (Harvard) specifically said they don't suggest taking the test more than, IIRC, two times, only because the scores don't seem to increase much more after several administrations.

I was trying to address questions that have been raised so far in this thread. Sorry to over-simplify.

The SAT does have an option for "Score Choice" - meaning, if the college does not specify to send all scores, you may send only scores you want to send. Confused yet? smile
