Score reports updated automatically after sent to colleges through Collegeboard?

Question

I recently sent my May 2006 SAT scores to 4 colleges and payed the 9.50 per college fee (all done on Collegeboard.com). I took the SATs again this October and got a higher score, which I did not expect. However, I already sent my first set of scores and don't want to pay to re-send my recent, better scores. Do the scores you sent to the schools get updated after you've re-taken the SATs or do they only send the initial scores? Thanks.

Answer 1

NOPE, not updated until/unless you pay the fees. And if your schores are significantly higher, it might make a difference in your chances of admission. You could include the information in your essay, and if it's your first choice school, send the new score to them, and the others, only as needed. When you retook the test, you specified exactly which schools would receive the new test scores. Anyone not on that list, won't get new scores.
