My daughter took the SAT in her sophomore year with a 2050, but retook it this year (junior) and got a 2230. If a college superscores, or allows score choice, sending both scores says that she didn’t retake it a million times, just 2. However, even if a college states that they superscore, I worry that they will look at the low score and attribute the increase to tutoring or such & it will just look bad. On the other hand, it may look good that she has such an ability to improve quickly.
This is probably a very minor point, but you can understand a parent wanting his kid to have the best chance she can.
What should she do & how do you think admissions will look at it? Send both scores or use score choice?
Send both if her reading/math is higher on one or the other. Disregard writing. Schools are no longer looking at the writing sections, or at least that seems to be the general consensus.
^ Then I would send the second and better score, unless she is applying to schools that require all schools to be sent. I don’ see any advantage to superscoring.
You have no reason to send both except to colleges that require all SAT scores. Even then there is not a concern because colleges in general use the higher scores to detemine admisison and do not hold the lower scores against the applicant.
