do ALL your sat scores show up on your transcript even if you take it multiple times?

Answer 1

First, be sure that you understand: the SAT scores are not usually reported on your transcript. Your transcript is your "report card": it contains information about the classes you take in high school. The SAT scores are sent to the college or university directly by ETS (the makers of the SAT), and you have to ask them to do it.

To answer your question, yes, ETS will report scores from all the SATs that you have taken, as I recall. Many people think that it looks bad for them if they have more than one score on there, but this is usually not the case: most colleges and universities will only consider your highest score. So it usually doesn't hurt you to take the SAT more than once. You can check the websites of particular colleges that you want to apply to to see how they deal with SAT scores for admission, if you're concerned.

Answer 2

yeah they do, but some colleges might take the highest math and highest verbal score to come up with your score, even if they are from different tests. if you do better the second time a school probably won't hold your lower first score against you. i mean, at least you have the tenacity and discipline to take the test a second time.

be happy you don't live in korea. there high school students get only one chance to take the exam in their senior year and if they fail they have to wait another year to retake it and start college a year late!

Answer 3

Yes so do it well the first time or if you need an average to get into a specific program make sure they look at your later grade instead of averaging the two (which a lot of places do). Another option is to drop the course before the drop deadline if you're doing horribly and then it WON'T show up.

Answer 4

yes. All SAT scores are on your transcript starting with 9th grade.

Answer 5
