<p>What exactly is a superscore, and which of the major schools look at it?</p>
<hr>
<p>I got 2310 (730CR, 780M, 800W) on the March SAT. If I took it again, I could possibly get an 800M or around a 750CR, but I have a feeling my overall score would be lower. Would it make any sense to take the test again if I am to get a total score under 2310, but my "superscore" could go up?</p>
<p>Your superscore is the sum of the highest scores on each section from all the you've taken the test. For example, if I take the SAT for the first time and I get CR: 670 Math: 700 Wr: 650 (a total of 2020), and the second time I get CR: 680 Math: 680 Wr: 700 (a total of 2060), my super score would be CR: 680 Math 700 Wr: 700, (a total of 2080).</p>
<p>Dont take it again.... colleges know that on any given testing day a score can vary by 50 points. So, if you only intend on going up 20 points in 2 subject areas, and down in another, it wont help you. Besides, there is no school (even HYPS) that would say they prefer a student with a 2350 over a 2310. Even if you thought you could get a 2400, there is no point in taking it again. You are already in the top 1/10 of a percent.</p>
