Confused about Superscore?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I keep hearing people talk about their "actual SAT score" and they "SAT superscore".
All I know so far is that by combining the highest score in the individual section of your SATs, you get the superscore.</p>

<p>However, which score do colleges look at? And why is the superscore useful to us? Any info would help. Thanks!</p>

<p>Every college has a different policy regarding which SAT scores they look at. Some might look at your highest one-sitting score and others might consider your highest individual sections scores across different test dates. You can check the policy of every college at the CB website.</p>
