About Superscoring...

<p>From this June test I got 800 reading, 800 math and 690 writing with a 6/12 essay. I'm planning on retaking it in the fall (because I know I'm much better at writing than the crud I spewed out on paper on that day), and most of the colleges I'm looking at superscore. My question: is it risky for me to focus solely on grammar and writing essays? Say, for instance I take the test and get 700 reading, 650 math and 800 writing with a 12/12 essay. Would colleges that superscore punish me for inconsistent performance?</p>

<p>Why would they punish you, isnt the point of superscoring to give you the highest score?</p>

<p>Okay, more extreme example. 450 reading, 430 math, 800 writing. (Not that this will happen, but stick with me). How could a superscoring college not pay attention to that?</p>

<p>If you got an 800 in reading and math already, theres no way you would slip that low. Be realistic and stop worrying.</p>
