There are two score reporting methods: Score Choice and Report All Scores.

Most universities follow the Score Choice method. For these schools, you can choose to send only your best scores and not the rest. Some of these schools include Harvard University, the University of Michigan, and Michigan State University.

Schools that follow the Report all Scores method require you to send in all official test scores. For these schools, we recommend that you have no more than three official exam scores on  file. If you are signed up for the exam and would rather take the test later on, the best decision is to take the exam and immediately cancel your score (instead of canceling the test date altogether). This provides a valuable testing experience that can help you do better on future test dates. Examples of universities that require all scores include Georgetown and Yale.

Keep in mind that most schools, including those mentioned above, have implemented temporary score policies to accommodate those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason, it is very important for you to research the schools you are interested in by reading official admissions policy found only on the school website.
