<p>Let's say I have taken two SAT Reasoning tests and I submit both (per Penn's policy). Would Penn consider the highest of each individual Math, English, and Writing subsections and hence create their own sort of "superscore" in their admissions committees or would they look at both tests equally?</p>
<p>I'm just wondering because on my first SAT test I did fairly well except for the writing section, and am wondering if it is worth reviewing the same level of math/english compared to writing for the second one I'm taking in March.</p>
<p>Yes, Penn does super score, so it is to your advantage if you’ve only taken the SAT once and want to retake it to try and bump up the Writing score. Remember, though, that drastic improvements & taking the exam too many times does look fishy (ex. Jumping from 400 to 800 on Writing or taking the SAT 5+ times for sure will be a red flag.)</p>
<p>Penn doesn’t super score as such because they take a look at all scores submitted just to get the range of the student & to note any drastic changes as hardworking21 mentioned!! </p>
<p>But they do consider only your top sub-section scores in the admissions process!! So you should be fine with taking the SAT another time!! :)</p>
<p>Though keep in mind, even 3+ times on the SAT is not a sign you want to be sending to the colleges!! :)</p>
<p>My daughter had the same issue before she applied. She had excellent CR and Math scores, but felt the 690 in Writing was too low. She retook the exam with the express purpose of improving her writing which jumped to a 780 (but only took it two times). She also submitted her ACT scores which perhaps showed a level of consistency between the two tests.</p>
