SAT Single Sitting vs. Superscored

<p>Hey CC! I was just wondering whether single-sitting actually mattered in the context of Princeton, since it is a school that only looks at your best SAT scores.. for example, would a 2250 SAT single-sitting be more impressive than 2300 super-scored? or would it be the other way around?</p>

<p>Princeton takes super score. Rule of thumb is not to take SAT more than 3 times. 2250 is a good score but not great, particularly if Math or CR is less than 700. 2300 is a score to guarantee all sub scores are at least 700. The number of testers who got 2250 is much more than testers who got 2300. If you have 2300’s, make sure you let Admission Office know.</p>

<p>Alright so I have no clue what @deerhk88‌ is saying. The average Princeton SAT score is between a 2120 - 2390, according to this: <a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/pub/profile/admission/undergraduate/”>http://www.princeton.edu/pub/profile/admission/undergraduate/&lt;/a&gt;. You can easily score lower than a 2300 with all sub scores above 700. Also why would you contact admissions if you got a 2300? That doesn’t make any sense. I personally have no experience with Princeton admissions, but I feel a 2250 single sitting would look better than a 2300 super scored, but that could easily be wrong. Good luck</p>

<p>2250 is a good score but not great, particularly if Math or CR is less than 700. – It is possible someone get 2250 while one subscore is less than 700.
If someone gets 2300, it is not possible to have any subscore less than 700.
If someone has SAT score of 2300, it won’t make sense not to send the score out so Admission Office will know about it. The number of people have score of 2300 is much less than 2250. The SAT profile posted for “Admits” 25/75 are all starting from 700. You want to put yourself in the higher range but not lower range. Lower range candidates typically have some hooks to offset the lower scores.</p>
