Question

Know anything about the SAT? Help me out!

Answer 1

I was wondering if the SAT allows students to hide bad scores?

Answer 2

You can retake the SAT for a higher score.

Answer 3

I know that the ACT allows students to do so, but not quite sure

Answer 4

Yeah I could probably take it again, but will colleges be seeing my bad scores as well? Like, ALL of my scores?

Answer 5

If you retake the SAT and get a higher grade, you get to choose what grade the college will see

Answer 6

So, obviously, you could choose the higher grade

Answer 7

And the college will never know what happened with the other grade?

Answer 8

not if you don't want them to

Answer 9

In addition, if you thought you did bad on the SAT, you can delete the test from the records (including the score). But you have to do it BEFORE you receive the results...funny huh?

Answer 10

So what would be the point of deleting it from record if not all of the record is shown anyways? Just wondering

Answer 11

they are not gonna see everybody score because more than 1000 people taking
SAT every time

Answer 12

Yeah and that's pretty weird

Answer 13

No idea lucy

Answer 14

Would you recommend that I cancel my score if I feel that it is mediocre?
and will this deletion leave a scar on my record?

Answer 15

no you don't have to i don't think so
they just see your highest score

Answer 16

^

Answer 17

Hmmm I'm only asking because I'm getting conflicting answers...and the fact that you have to delete scores before they go on your profile is a little conflicting as well...

Answer 18

You don't have to

Answer 19

It is just an option for those people who don't want any trace of it at all

Answer 20

but your school and college should already have your data

Answer 21

???

Answer 22

what data?

Answer 23

But if you are worried about colleges seeing bad scores, you don't have to worry. Just don't send them the bad test scores

Answer 24

test your name and all kinda stuff

Answer 25

okay... and so is this feature of selecting which scores u want to send, this feature, is it something you have to do after you know what the score is, or after?

Answer 26

And is there an additional something I have to do in order to get that feature?

Answer 27

after you know the score

Answer 28

you can send 4 colleges when you are register
and you can send another four after SAT score

Answer 29

when you are registering for SAT *********

Answer 30

you wil receive your score, and then usually you have an SAT account where you can send your results to a college

Answer 31
