<p>Hey. For the October SAT I scored a 2250 (720 R, 770 M, 760 W), but superscored with my March score 2140 (710 R, 800 M, 630 W), I would have a 2280 with the 800 in math instead of the 770. I know that most colleges say they will look at your highest scores across all dates, but should I still submit my March scores if they are that much lower than my October ones? Would the one 800 be worth it because that would bump my CR/M score into the 1500s from 1490?</p>
<p>By the way, these scores would by going to Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Duke, and a few others that are also top schools.</p>
<p>You should submit both to your schools if the schools superscore. Schools will understand you just had a bad day for some reason on the writing portion in March. Superscoring schools really and truly only look at the highest subscores. Superscoring helps you and you should take advantage of it.</p>
<p>^^ I agree with griffen. These are all very strong scores except the March W score which is good but not outstanding. But the October W score IS outstanding, so they’ll disregard the lower March score. And in any event, many schools don’t even look at W; others don’t weigh it as heavily as CR and M. The two CR scores are close, as are the two M scores; but if you submit both sets of scores you’ll be 1520 CR+M (superscored), as opposed to 1490 CR+M if you submit only the October score. At some very good schools that’s potentially the difference between being in the top quartile v. the second quartile.</p>
<p>In fact, your March CR+M of 1510 is actually higher than your October CR+M of 1490. Even at schools that don’t superscore you may be better off submitting both sets of scores since your highest single-sitting CR+M is from March, and your highest single-sitting CR+M+W is from October.</p>
<p>Its one those things whether you either trust them or don’t. The ones you list all say they use the highest subscores from multiple tests for admission and thus sending multiple scores will not hurt you. You either believe them or you don’t.</p>
