superscoring

<p>Whats the difference between a college superscoring the SAT and ACT composite rather than just the SAT and ACT?</p>

<p>Assume </p>

<p>1 Time SAT</p>

<p>500CR 600 Math 500 Writing =1600</p>

<p>Then you were really dissapointed</p>

<p>Then you take it again</p>

<p>600 CR 600Math 400 Writing =1600</p>

<p>Now you’re in a dilemma </p>

<p>Both your scores are 1600 but if the college you apply to superscores
You score will be the highest in all three sections from different testing dates</p>

<p>600CR 600M 500 Writing = 1700 T</p>

<p>So now compare superscore (1700) to highest (1600)</p>

<p>Ofcourse the difference won’t always be 100 points it can vary by a lot</p>

<p>If the schools im applying to use superscoring should I just send scores directly when I sign up for SATs or ACTs because even if I do badly or worst than previous tests, the school superscores?</p>

<p>If the school superscores they use all of the scores. </p>

<p>But schools don’t like to see over 3 times per test</p>
