<p>I am applying early action and I took the October SAT. I need to send my scores now to make sure that they arrive to the school on time. I am not happy with my previous scores, but I also don't know what my scores from October are. I am 100% sure that my critical reading & writing scores have improved significantly, but I'm not completely confident that my math score has. Should I take the risk and only send my October scores? Or should I send scores from both test dates even though that means that they will see my less than stellar first scores?</p>
<p>Send both and they will only look at the highest score in each section.</p>
<p>So they won’t judge me badly for my old scores?</p>
<p>Nope. You could have:</p>
<p>1st SAT:
M: 720
CR: 550
W: 550</p>
<p>2nd SAT:
M: 550
CR: 720
W: 720</p>
<p>And all they would look at is:
M:720
CR:720
W: 720</p>
<p>Right. I’m just concerned they’ll have my old scores in the back of their mind, even though they superscore. But, I guess it sounds like it’s worth sending scores from both dates just to be safe.</p>
<p>You should consider it as:
someone in the office (not the dean reviewing your file) compiles your superscore
dean only considers your superscore
they could still see your other score but i think they probably don’t even see your score other than the superscore. also the committee is more concerned about your grades and course rigor than 20 points on the sat.</p>
<p>We don’t even see the lower scores. When I open a file, the best scores for each section are pulled up by the system. :)</p>
<p>There you go my suspicion was right!</p>
<p>Awesome! Thank you!</p>
