I had a few questions about superscoring and I haven’t found anything online about it so far.
@drusba So do the individual reading and writing scores(out of 40) matter at all? Will a 35/40 on both reading and writing be favored over a 30/40 on reading and 40/40 on writing or does it not matter?
As to how colleges will use the new test scores and reports is really an unknown since the test has been around for only four months and there has yet to have been even one review of a test score done to decide admission. However, the old SAT report also included subscores and typically used were the composite, the math, reading, and if considered by the college, writing, section scores; in fact at many colleges the full SAT report was not provided to reviewers but instead they got a summary with the composite and section scores. I do not assume it is likely reviewers are going to spend time reviewing and studying the SAT score reports for the new test beyond the composite and the overall math and reading/writing scores. Moreover, if a subscore is going to be looked at, it likely won’t be the ones for reading, writing and math but the two new Cross-test scores, which are supposed to tell the colleges something about the students analytical abilities in social studies and science.
