Combining your Best Scores?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>My friend recently told me that if you take the SAT more than once, instead of rewriting your previous score with your new score, they take your best scores from the previous test and add them to the best from your recent score to create the score that you send to college. Is this true?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Yah. It's called superscoring and most schools (I know that Michigan and Miami don't) will do it.</p>

<p>Do you know if any of these schools do it?</p>

<p>-Columbia
-Barnard
-New York University</p>

<p>Does anyone know?</p>

<p>wait wat do u mean? are u saying colleges look at ur best sat score (overall) or the best sub score and add them up</p>

<p>I mean your best subscores from each test you took. For instance:</p>

<p>March SAT:</p>

<p>cr: 700
m: 610
w: 680</p>

<p>June SAT:</p>

<p>cr: 650
m: 700
w: 590</p>

<p>So taking math from the June SAT and critical reading and writing from the march SAT.</p>

<p>^ wow i never knew they did that lol...thats pretty good so if i take sat 3 times and get a 800 on different section every time they'll consider me getting a 2400 :O</p>
