When do you send scores to college?

Question

Ok so I'm signing up to take the ACT and it asks me where I want to send my score reports, what does this mean?

Answer 1

this means that if you plan on going to college any time soon, you must tell ACT what schools that you want them to send your scores to.  

Answer 2

Most people send their scores to colleges fall/winter of their senior year. It's asking you what colleges you'd like them to send the scores. However, you need not send them right then. After you recieve the scores you can decide if/where you want to send them though you'll have to pay them to send the scores. I, personally, waited to see scores from both my SAT and ACT and then ended up mailing my SAT scores (which you can also send later, also for a fee).
