If you reported multiple SSAT scores, do the schools choose the best on their own?
Probably a silly thought. But schools won’t just see the first test score they receive and not check the latter ones, right?
I think it’s the $1M question. They will definitely get both (or more) reports but they can’t unsee the sections. Does someone simply enter the highest scores and that’s what the committee sees? No one here knows that answer…
Logic tells me that it should be quite common for applicant’s to submit multiple ssat scores, and bs are equipped to handle it. I am still concerned that they will forget her Nov 2015 score and process her application based on her old Jan 2015 score.
Oh, I thought only scores from the current test cycle could be used?
I heard that they changed it this year. I didn’t know that. But the system allowed me to report last cycle’s score, and I thought then, why not? I regretted in when daughter got a much higher score in Nov. But I couldn’t retract the scores.
Some schools, like Andover, superscore if you send them multiple ssat scores. Superscoring is when they take the highest scores of each section.
And I need not tell them that I reported two scores, right?
You can’t send part of the score report, so if you send more than one they will see all of the sector scores from each test that you send.
Most admissions officers do say that they super score. Like others I’m a little skeptical, but I suppose we should simply take them at their word. I’ve heard an AO at a reception say that they themselves see a fair amount of variation from test to test with the same student, and it is due to that instability of scores that they superscore.
