Send Superscore or Single Sitting???

<p>Please help me with this problem.</p>

<p>I have a 2390 Superscored and a 2330 single sitting.</p>

<p>My 2390 superscored comes from two test dates (lets call them test date 1 and 2)</p>

<p>My 2330 single siting comes from one test date that is different from the first two (test date 3) and does not contribute to my 2390 superscore.</p>

<p>Should I just send the first two scores or should I send all three? In either case, I will have 2390 superscored. However, by sending the third I would have a 2330 single sitting but would have to send a third score (which my be looked upon unfavorably by the adcom).</p>

<p>Any advice?</p>

<p>If I were you, I would send the two scores that superscore to 2390.</p>

<p>So you believe that sending two scores looks better because I did not have to take it three times to get it?</p>

<p>I’m just worried that single-sitting scores will be looked upon (even though Harvard claims to focus more on the superscore).</p>

<p>send both in. it shows you consistently score high</p>

<p>Do you mean all three?</p>

<p>Scoring consistently high can also mean like test-obsessed if I’m retaking after scoring high.</p>

<p>The 2330 and 2390 are comparable in value. AOs know that the score actually reflects a possible range of ability, and the small 60 point gap will ultimately not be the deciding factor, especially when the 2390 is a composite of multiple tests. Anecdotal evidence suggests that being test-obsessed can hurt, and sending single sitting scores impresses.</p>
