<p>When colleges post their 25-75th percentile SAT scores of admitted students, does that represent single-sitting scores or superscored scores?</p>
<p>It's usually reported section-by-section anyhow. It represents what the college uses to make admission decisions, whatever that is. </p>

<p>It is supposed to be the scores considered for admission and, if school superscores, then the scores used to come up with the range should be based upon the highest subscores for those who submitted multiple tests; moreover they have an incentive to use the highest in the data because the higher the range the higher the school's potential ranking could be in USNews. However, the ranges are reliable only to an extent. Those are usually the ranges of enrolled freshman and does not include those who were admitted but did not enroll. Because of that the actual ranges of admitted students could be different from and potentially higher than what is shown if it is a college which may have admitted a lot of high stat applicants who chose not to attend. Also, a college may not be including in the data to come up with range some groups of students that may have scored lower in the ranges such as athletes on scholarship. In addition, the ranges given are for the university as a whole and do not reflect differences that may exist among the colleges within the university or among majors, e.g., the engineering college at the university may have a significantly higher middle 50% range which could also mean that the range for the arts & sciences college may actually be a little lower than the range published -- a number of univeristies actually provide their varying middle 50% ranges for each college on their sites but most do not.</p>
