Some colleges require that all testing results be sent to them from College Board and/or ACT. If a student is not requesting superscoring, why would the college want to see all the reports of every time the student took the test?
ACT, for example, requires payment for each test that is reported. DD took it twice and I don't understand why we should have to pay for an earlier test to be reported that we are not interested in having them consider.
Also, it seems to not be in the college's best interest either in that students will end up reporting lower scores that they would not otherwise report. For example, DD did not do as well on the SAT (about 200 points lower than her PSAT would suggest) as she did on ACT. However, she did not bother redoing the SAT as she had a great ACT score. Now as we are looking at sending SAT2 scores to colleges, some of them are requesting all SAT scores be sent. If she is admitted, why would they want to have her lower SAT scores on their stats rather than just the high ACT?
So, why do they want to have it all reported when it seems to be in neither side's interest?
