How does SAT score choice work?

Test Preparation

<p>I am confused how score choice works. If I want to use score choice and these are my scores for the 2 SATS so far...</p>

<p>CR570 M650 W590 = 1810/1220
CR600 M620 W560 = 1780/1220</p>

<p>With score choice would my SATs be considered...1840/1250?
Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>I think you are confusing score choice with whether a college superscores SATs.</p>

<p>Score choice means when you order official scores sent to colleges by the College Board (the SAT company) you can choose to send the scores from one test and not another. You do not get to choose to send part of the scores from one test and part from another. In other words, you get choose whether you send the first test you took or the second test or both.</p>

<p>Superscoring is what many colleges do when you, in fact, send multiple SAT tests to them. They consider for admission the highest subscores from the combination of the tests, in your case a 600CR, 650M, and 590W.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying. So as it stands now, the best thing for me would be to send both sets of scores and with superscoring I would have a 1250/1840? </p>

<p>Do most competitive colleges superscore? I am hoping…</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Most public universities do not superscore SAT but instead use that test with the highest composite. Most private universities do superscore. Emphasis on the “most” because there are therefore exceptions to both those generalities so you need to check with college to which you are applying.</p>
