<p>The school where my son has applied said that they "super score" the SSATs, and I understand that they take the highest percentile in each category. But do they also recalculate the overall percentile, or do they just use the highest of the two?</p>
<p>My son's scores were:</p>
<p>84th percentile overall with a 2169 scaled score (92nd in verbal, 77th in math, and 67th in reading comprehension, which I think was due to mistakes in bubbling???)</p>
<p>Then he retook them in Jan and scored a 91st percentile overall with a 2217 scaled score (80th in verbal - YIKES! But he had the flu that weekend -87th in math, and 97th in reading comprehension, which is why I think the first test was an anomaly and he must've made bubbling mistakes).</p>
<p>My questions is, IF they take the 92nd verbal from the first exam, and then both the math and the reading comprehension from the second test, do they also recalculate the percentile with the super score?</p>
<p>His scaled score would be 2250 if his first verbal score and his second math and reading comp. scores were added together.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
