Sending Official Test Scores What You Need to Know

Sending Official Test Scores What You Need to Know The countdown has begun! If you have already accepted your admission offer but have not yet sent your official test scores, now is the time to do so. Today, I will go over the Frequently Asked Questions on what you need to know to submit your official scores. What do you mean by official test scores? Your official test score is a score that is sent directly from the designated testing agency that you have registered and taken the test with. For example, SAT is administered through College Board, the TOEFL is through ETS, and so on and so forth. How should I send my official test scores? Have your test scores sent directly from the testing agency. Below are our institution’s test codes: ACT Code: 1154 SAT Code: 1836 TOEFL Code: 1836 What test scores should I submit? You are required to submit all the test scores that you have self-reported on your application. I’ve reported several test scores on my application. Should I only submit my highest scores ? No. If you reported two or more sets of TOEFL, IELTS, ACT, or SAT then you should submit all the test scores that you have reported on your application. Do I still need to submit official scores even if I only reported the highest subscore on one test? Yes, you do. Rule of thumb: if you reported it, you need to submit it. What if I reported the wrong date for my test score? You will need to contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to let us know about the discrepancy on the test dates that you have reported. When is the deadline to submit my official test scores? The deadline to submit all official test scores is May 15, 2019. I already sent my official test scores at the time of application. Do I need to send them again? If you have already sent in your scores, then you do not need to resend them. How will I know that you received my official test scores?
