<p>Do some universities average your SAT scores if you take the test multiple times? Which universities do this? Meaning, if you do very poorly the first time you test and improve subsequently, will it be a disadvantage that you took the first test unprepared?</p>
<p>Honestly just use score choice, colleges will never know about any of your other scores (they won’t even know you used score choice) and you won’t have to deal with any of these problems.</p>
<p>^what he said.</p>
<p>There is no college that averages SAT scores. Colleges break down into two groups when you submit multiple tests. For admission, the first group uses that test with the highest composite, the second group superscores in that they use the highest section scores from the multiple tests.</p>
<p>Also understand that above about sending only the good score does not necessarily work. Most colleges accept score choice and you can send which scores you want to. Others, called “all scores” colleges, require you not to exercise score choice when sending scores and you must send the college all your scores. Not doing so is a violation of that admissions policy.</p>
