Do Andover and Exeter superscore?

Prep School Admissions

<p>I retook the SSAT recently and I got fairly high scores last time but I'm feeling less confident about my scores this time. Do they superscore?</p>

<p>I sense from your question that u may not understand the concept of “superscoring”. </p>

<p>“Superscoring” refers to the practice where the best sub-scores from test sittings on different dates are “photoshopped” together to derive a total score that is higher than the individual sitting scores. </p>

<p>I doubt boarding schools have gone to this practice, but i don’t know for sure. Prep schools tend to report SSAT stats as a percentile; whereas, colleges report SAT stats as a total score. The composite SSAT score is not a simply avg of the 3 subscores, so i don’t know how u would go about superscoring it.</p>

<p>When we went to the TSAO open house in our area a few months ago the schools there said “yes”, send us all of your scores, we’ll look at the higher subscores for each subsection. Of course, since you have to send all of the full reports, they’ll get to see all of your lower scores too. So it’s a mixed bag :)</p>

<p>I remember that SPS and Groton both said that they will superscore, so send all your scores. Idk about A or E.</p>

<p>During my interview last year I was told by an Andover AO that they superscore SSATs.</p>
