My son has applied to all the Academies and prior to sending his scores into the Academies he took several practice SAT's and ACT's. When he was done taking tests, and ready to send in his scores to the Academies he had them send his best scores, which happened to be his SAT's. He only did average on his ACTs, so we decided to focus on his SAT's and he studied for those and did reasonably well. We only told Collegeboard to send in the best combination of SAT scores. We didn't even bother with the ACT scores.
We just had his high school send in his 7th semester HS grades and for some reason the HS is included all his test scores on the transcript. Even the practice ones. We also noticed that one of the Academies picked off his ACT scores off of it and placed them in his file! They were practice, and we didn't even want them up there!
How come the high school included those scores on the transcript without asking us, and how will it affect the board when they meet and judge the applications? Surely seeing average ACT scores will influence them even though he had good SAT scores? I'm not happy about this. Collegeboard asked us what scores we wanted to send, but the H.S. just sent them all..
Any comments, or reassurances would be Greatly appreciated... Thanks!
