Can I retake the SAT? Can I send my highest SAT Score?

A parent asked me if her daughter could retake the SAT.
The answer is "Yes." See here for more information.
But it's a myth that you can send only your best scores.
College Board, which runs the SAT, will send all the scores it has on file.
Here is some information from the College Board site
  • We send a cumulative report of all scores that are available and reportable at the time your request is received. You cannot send only your latest or highest SAT scores, or separate scores for critical reading, mathematics, or writing sections, or only SAT, or only Subject Test scores.
  • Only score reports from completed and scored tests will be sent to the colleges and scholarship programs you select. Scores from future tests for which you registered, but have not yet completed, will not be included. Check your My SAT to see which scores are available to send.
  • Your scores are maintained on active file for one year after your high school graduation, or for one school year following your test date if you tested after high school. Please see Archived Scores for more information if you last tested before October 2002.
