How to send SAT scores to specific colleges

To send your SAT scores to specific colleges, you can follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Register for the SAT
- First, you need to register for the SAT exam on the official College Board website. Create an account or log in if you already have one.

Step 2: Select score recipients
- During the registration process, you will have the option to select up to four colleges or scholarship programs to receive your scores for free.
- If you did not select any recipients during registration or want to send your scores to additional institutions, you can do so later for a fee.

Step 3: Send scores online
- After you have taken the SAT, you can send your scores to colleges online. Log in to your College Board account and navigate to the "My SAT" page.
- Click on the "Send Scores" button and select the colleges or scholarship programs you want to receive your scores.
- You will be prompted to pay a fee for each recipient beyond the free ones you selected during registration. The fee may vary depending on the number of recipients.

Step 4: Send scores by phone or mail
- If you prefer, you can also send your scores by phone or mail. However, these methods may involve additional fees and take longer to process.
- To send scores by phone, call the College Board Customer Service and provide the necessary information.
- To send scores by mail, complete the SAT Score Report Order Form available on the College Board website and mail it along with the appropriate payment.

Cost associated with sending SAT scores
- Sending SAT scores to colleges typically incurs a fee for each recipient beyond the free ones selected during registration.
- As of 2021, the fee for sending scores online is $12 per recipient. This fee may vary, so it's essential to check the College Board website for the most up-to-date information.
- Sending scores by phone or mail may involve additional fees, and the exact cost can be found on the College Board website or by contacting their Customer Service.

Remember to check the specific requirements and deadlines of each college you are applying to, as some institutions may have their own score reporting policies.
