poll: ecstatic you won't be able to choose my sat scores to send to colleges?

<p>In 2010, colleges will cease to superscore (Collegeboard is going to make the SAT like the ACT; you will be able to choose your best score to send to colleges, but you won't be able to mix and match scores from different sections)</p>

<p>Whenever I take the SAT, I always do well on some sections but not as well on others, so superscoring helps me out a lot.</p>

<p>Which would you prefer, getting to choose which scores to send without superscoring, or the present superscoring system?</p>

<p>Just curious</p>

<p>I'm going to take a wild guess that you don't do good on writing.</p>

<p>(no hate)</p>

<p>Writing is easily my best section (760-800 range).</p>

<p>Getting to choose which scores to send; those who have the capacity to take the test numerous times will still have a substantial advantage, but a less obscene one, at least.</p>

<p>How exactly does this work? And it's affecting 2010~and on?</p>

<p>STARTING FROM 2010?!?! holy mother of...!^@&#()$&&*(! WHY?!?!?!??!</p>

<p>What if you took the SAT before 2010 but don't apply until 2011? No superscoring?</p>

<p>"Under the new policy, students who take the SAT or the supplemental SAT subject exams multiple times will be able to decide whether to let colleges see one, some or all of their scores. There is no extra charge, and students must opt into the program online or on the telephone; otherwise all scores will be shared."</p>

<p>Colleges will be able to superscore if you choose not to opt into the program. Please make sure what you post is correct or you may accidently freak out some of the posters. </p>

<p>Also, I find this quite disappointing: "'In every policy change, there are some winners and losers,' said Barmak Nassirian, associate executive director of the American Assn. of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. 'This creates a penalty-free way for applicants who can afford the price of the test numerous times to shop for their best scores. For those students for whom cost is not a barrier, this is a tremendously good thing.'"</p>

<p>What? Rich people having an advantage in admissions? Preposterous!</p>

<p>Isn't superscoring generally better, though? Why would you want to opt into the program?</p>

<p>Wealth and masochism.</p>
