<p>on the collegeboard website I cannot find a way to select my SAT scores. I also called NYU and they say do use score choice. How can I use score choice for NYU?</p>
<p>When sending a score report from collegeboard, you can pick which scores to send; there is a check box next to each score. Once you select the ones you want, you order and pay for the report. Its straightforward, there’s no special link or page to go to. :)</p>
<p>thats not “score choice” though… thats choosing your score. score choice is sending the best score sections of all your tests</p>
<p>NYU will superscore/score choice it for you.</p>
<p>Oh i’m so sorry - i didn’t know!</p>
<p>^justspice thats not score choice either lol. score choice means that collegeboard allows you to send the best scores from each section, without having to send all the scores for each section of the test you took.</p>
<p>Ok here y’all go:</p>
<p>Score choice: The ability for a student to choose which ENTIRE sittings to sent to a school. As in say I took the test time A, time B, time C…I can choose to send just A, just B, just C, or a combination.
The school sees all three parts of each sitting that you send. </p>
<p>Superscore: A process done by schools themselves in which they take the best math, best reading, and best writing score that you received out of the SITTINGS YOU CHOSE TO SEND using scorechoice. </p>
<p>Example: </p>
<p>John Doe
October SAT
M-600
W-650
R-590</p>
<p>May SAT
M-650
W-600
R-620</p>
<p>June SAT
M-590
W-570
R-540</p>
<p>John would use to score choice to send his October and May scores because he knows he got his best W in October, and his best M and R in May. But in June, he did not receive any of his best scores, so he chooses not to send it. Once his schools receive his scores, they will superscore his score and take his best Math (650), best Writing (650) and best reading (620) for a total of 1920.</p>
<p>NYU superscores both the SAT and the ACT. They do not actually tell you not to use score choice (like some schools), but they recommend that you send all scores to them since they will only consider the highest.</p>
<p>Personally, I would not bother to send any sitting of the ACT or SAT that does not contain a score I want them to consider. If all the sections of D’s SAT’s that she took as a junior in the fall go up later in the spring , I don’t see the point of sending her lowest scores.</p>
<p>NO THEY DO SUPERSCORE.
Superscoring is not an official thing that you do with College Board. Each school that does it (which is most schools), does it on their own. You have to do nothing.</p>
<p>k john so can u clarify 1 thing:
by superscoring do u mean that they only end up recieving ure best 3 scores from each section, or do they recieve all your scores and then “look at only ure best 3 scores from each section”</p>
<p>When College Board sends your SAT scores, they always send the results from all sections of the same test date. There are no exceptions. They will send your verbal, math and writing sections for the date you select.</p>
<p>The only choice YOU have is to decide which tests to send. So you may have taken the SAT in March, April and October. You can chose to send just April and October and not have your March scores sent. That is called Score Choice by College Board. They will not send out those March scores and colleges will not see them.</p>
<p>Once a school like NYU receives the tests you want them to see, they will then only consider the highest sections from what you have sent. That is what is known as Superscoring. Not all schools will superscore in order to come up with a combined score from one or more sittings. NYU will superscore, and will do so for both the SAT and the ACT so that you can get a “best” combined score.</p>
<p>If there is superscore how come there is no option on collegeboard to superscore the sat for nyu???</p>
<p>There is no option to superscore for ANY university on collegeboard… collegeboard does not do it for you. The university, should it decide that it wants to superscore, will do it once they receive your scores.</p>
<p>You are still confusing “score choice” and “superscoring.” Score choice is when you tell College Board what whole test scores to send to NYU. (It does not have to be all of the times you have taken the test, but all sections are sent to NYU for each date you chose.)</p>
<p>After receiving the test scores you have decided to send NYU, NYU can then superscore your test scores, by combining the highest score for each section from the scores you have sent them.</p>
<p>winniehuang: last week I sent in a superscore report to rutgers university. In other words, i choose 3 different sections of the sat from 3 different tests, and the college did not see any other scores.</p>
<p>uskoolfish: I know what superscore is. The thing is that last week I sent a superscore report to rutgers university (officialy through the collegeboard service). Is there a superscore option for nyu where you can choose to only release 3 sections of your sat test scores as you wish?</p>
<p>:O How do you do that? You mean on collegeboard?</p>
<p>Yes super score means they only consider your best score in each section.</p>
<p>“Students are only able to select which scores they send by test date for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject Tests. Scores from an entire SAT test are sent. Students can choose, by test date (test sitting), which scores appear on the score report sent to colleges, universities or scholarship programs.”</p>
<p>This is from College Board. If you know of anything different, I’d be really curious…I see nothing on their site that says how you could have sent a specfic section of the SAT to Rutgers and not the other sections.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s what I read too… I’m curious nooblet… how did you send specific sections of the SAT? :S Do you mean when you self report SATs?</p>
<p>no through collegeboard. check for yourself. go to the send score reports website on collegeboard, and choose rutgers university to send your scores to. you will see that there is a superscore option for the scores. just dont enter your credit card info and u wont have to pay. just test it out.</p>
