Score Reporting on Test Day

by LMK27 » Sat Apr 03, 2010 9:25 pm
Hi guys - I am taking my test this saturday 4/10 and need some clarification on score reporting. I am not going to chose to send my score to schools before the test because I would like to know what I get before sending it out to schools.

If I take the test a 2nd time (due to low score on test #1) will schools still see my score from test #1, even though I didnt officially report it?

Any advice is appreciated...Thanks!!!

If you don't report the 1st test, but do report the 2nd test, the schools will see both scores.


If you decided to report the 1st test, then took the test a second time and didn't report the score, the schools would see only the 1st test score.

dmateer is right. You should report to five schools on the first attempt, because even if you take it again, they will still see it. When you send your report to schools, they will see your last three attempts. Plus, it is expensive to send additional reports. Send out five on test day! Good luck!
