Highest section scores across test dates -- 3 questions!

<p>Hey everyone. I'm applying to a few colleges that have the policy "Highest section scores across test dates." I've read tons of CC threads about it but I'm still a bit confused. I know what it is and that another name of it is "superscore," but I don't understand the technicalities of it. I am hoping that you all can help clear it up for me.</p>

<p>1) This is essential a form of Score Choice, right? Like for the SAT I, I would only have to send the test dates when I had the highest scores in each section.</p>

<p>2) This policy applies to SAT IIs as well, correct? So I wouldn't have to send in all my SAT IIs but only my best ones?</p>

<p>3) I don't want to make more versions of the Common App to distinguish between colleges that use Score Choice and ones that don't regarding the self-reporting test section. I know the Common App has spaces where you write all the times you took the SAT I, then your highest SAT I section scores. It also has space for your best scores in two subject tests. SO -- if I used Score Choice, the only thing that would give the fact that I took more SAT I tests away is that there would be more dates for the part that says when I took the SAT I. (My best section scores from the SAT I are all from one test date.) This would be fine, right?</p>

<p>In other words, my official College Board SAT I score reports will not have results from all of the dates that I list in the Common App. Is this okay (as long as the college allows Score Choice)?</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post...I just want to report my scores as accurately as I can. I'm trying to send my scores tonight/tomorrow, so fast responses are really appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>Yes. </p>

<p>Yes, you can choose which subject test score to send by single SUBJECT TEST, even if you took 2+ on the same day.</p>

<p>3) I don’t want to make more versions of the Common App to distinguish between colleges that use Score Choice and ones that don’t regarding the self-reporting test section.

<p>Since you’re only sending in your SAT I score from ONE SITTING, just select that test date and no other SAT I test dates when sending official score reports. </p>

<p>In other words, my official College Board SAT I score reports will not have results from all of the dates that I list in the Common App. Is this okay (as long as the college allows Score Choice)?</p>

<p>Yes, the only way colleges would know you took SAT I more than once is by looking at the Common App, where you must indicate up to 3 test dates on which you’ve taken the SAT. </p>

<p>Glad to help-I just sent out my reports yesterday :D</p>

<p>Wow RainbowSprinkles - thank you so much for your quick and clear response. I really appreciate it! Good luck with your colleges :)</p>
