<p>For those of you who have experience in this, if you took the SAT twice, do most colleges take your high score overall on one test or the sum of your high scores on each section on both tests? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>privates take the sum of your high schools , aka 'superscore'
publics, like UCs, take it from one sitting.</p>
<p>Thanks sushi, appreciate the help.</p>
<p>Is that true for every private/public school?</p>
<p>Probably not, but for the main ones, yes. </p>
<p>which ones do you have in mind?</p>
<p>Basically the top schools, IVYS + the Duke/Stanford/MIT, etc. group.</p>
<p>I'm a little nervous because I did well on my math SATs the first time (720) but am afraid I might have gotten like a 680 or so on this one.</p>
<p>You're saying, though, that they'll just take the 720? Thanks.</p>
<p>yeah. so for those, they 'superscore'</p>
<p>i'm scared I did worse too. I got 740 last time and I know I got -1,omit 2 at least. hm</p>
<p>well if anything, you still have the 720 as a 'backup'.</p>
