<p>Someone told me that I could pick the best individual scores out of all the SATs taken.
For example, if i got a crit reading, math, and writing score of 560, 590, and 680 respectively, and i take it again and i get a crit reading, math, and writing score 600, 660, and 570 (respectively once again), i could pick the 680 writing score i got on the first SAT and keep the 600 in crit read, and 660 in math. Is this what I can do or do they not do that anymore?</p>
<p>There are two options similar to this:</p>
<p>Score Choice allows you to select specific sittings to send. You cannot pick specific sections to send, and some schools don’t want you to use Score Choice.</p>
<p>Superscoring is something done by colleges wherein only your highest section scores are considered, even if they are across multiple sittings. Most top schools use this. Schools can, however, see all your scores.</p>
<p>Silverturtle is basically correct. Many schools now just pick the best of all our sections/sittings - I suspect to just make things simple. I imagine they also note how many sittings. Score choice does let you send only some sittings, but all scores for each sitting are sent.</p>
<p>so then i would be able to choose the 680 over the 570 on my hypothetical writing score and still keep the 600 and 660 even though it was on a differnt SAT sitting</p>

<p>This is not something that the applicant does; some colleges superscore.</p>
<p>do I need to choose “Score choice”, or “superscoring” or nothing, when I sign up for the SAT?</p>
<p>

<p>You can use Score Choice as you’re sending the scores to schools. Superscoring is automatically done by participitating institutions.</p>
