Superscoring SAT?

<p>I have a superscore that is 40 points higher than my best score; on my application, do I give this composite in some shape or form?</p>

<p>I know that 40 points isnt much, but my math score went down a bit from an 800, so I was considering how this would work.</p>

<p>the collegeboard sends the scores- you dont write anything. so it depends on what the college does with the scores- the VAST majority of top schools superscore, and THEORETICALLY the adcoms only look at the top scores in each section only and arent even supposed to SEE the "worse" scores.</p>

<p>Ok good, I had that question since if I didnt qualify for some requirment for departmental placement in a college because my 760 was too low (for math) that would suck...but from what you're saying I guess the 800 is what would stand out more and I could use that if I get into that college that requires a high mSAT - I score for advanced placement into higher level math courses.</p>

<p>yea...from what i've heard (this may not be true) that the adcoms may not even see all the scores- someone doing clerical work or something sorts them so that the adcoms only see the highest- regardless of what actually happens, every college that i've visited has said that they ONLY CONSIDER the HIGHEST SCORES in each section for the SATI- some colleges dont superscore (im not sure of which particularly) but most do</p>
