<p>I'm wondering if i should retake the SAT. Is it a score that "average people" will get? A lot of people i know are not satisfied with 2300 and says they'll retake it. What's your view?</p>
<p>Alas! It seems you have mixed up superscore and superb score.</p>
<p>A superscore is an SAT score that takes the scores of multiple SATs taken and counts only the best score achieved in each section.</p>
<p>A superb score is relative, but I think most would agree that a 2300 is indeed a superb score. Assuming relatively equal distribution, the difference between a 2400 and a 2300 is pretty small, but I could understand why one would retake a 2300 under certain circumstances. But it is nevertheless a score that is, by essentially everyone’s standard, a superb score. And not necessarily a superscore ;)</p>
<p>thanks! I kinda feel bad cuz people are all aiming for 2350’s or higher… it’s like nobody even cares about the low 2300’s anymore O_o</p>
<p>Reality as I know it is crumbling before my eyes.</p>
<p>hahahahahaha
kids these days</p>
<p>I find it ironic that you did so well on the SAT and yet do not know the correct definition of the phrase “superscore.”</p>
<p>i think it’s a ■■■■■</p>
<p>^you know not everyone that asks a simple question is a ■■■■■. Maybe this person in all honesty was just confused and perplexed by the situation and needed some advice.</p>
<p>it’s a ■■■■■ when you ask if an sat score of 2300 is average</p>
<p>^^I agree with sstewart. not everyone on CC knows that 2300 is clearly below average… :P</p>
<p>I don’t get how people that score so high on the SAT’s can be so dumb sometimes.</p>
<p>Exactly, some people are books smart, but not street smarts. So maybe the person in all honesty did not know. It Does not make them a ■■■■■ to find the answer. hell if I had not found this site I wouldnt have known what superscore was.</p>
<p>I mean, it would only take probably less than a minute of research to realize that a 2300 is what? 99.9th percentile? And I don’t think any college in the world really cares whether it’s a 2300 or a 2350. It’s good enough.</p>
<p>^ A composite score is artificial. What colleges really care about is your score in each section. If an applicant is applying to Harvard with a 2300 but has a breakdown of 800/700/800 with a 700 in critical reading, you can bet that they are at a worse standpoint for admissions than someone with 780+ in all 3 sections.</p>
<p>It’s not about having a high enough composite score; it’s the sectional breakdown that counts. The ACT is where the composite score is weighted.</p>
