<p>So, I just took the January SAT. I didn't feel too good about the Reading section, and I am now seriously considering cancelling my score because it will probably be lower than my previous score.
My previous score is from last December, and in the December test, I did okay at Reading but my Writing score was lower than I wanted it. However, I think I did much better in Writing in my January SAT. Most of the schools that I am looking into allows superscoring, so should I cancel my score for January bc it will probably be lower than previous? Or should I just keep it for the sake of superscores?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Most schools are superscoring and you will be at a disadvantage if you lose one good score. I would keep the scores unless you are sure you did worse in each section. </p>
<p>Also, consider this, do not send any score reports until you see your score. Then if it is really egregious just don’t send it to the schools. If it is good or at least significantly better in one section, the day you get your score send it off. They go electronically and the schools should still get it in time or you could even pay the one fee for a rush to all schools. My daughter had a much worse critical reading score in one SAT but we sent that score to the schools because she had a 750 in math on that test. She got a full scholarship to Rutgers, so that lower CR from the first SAT did not hurt her.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks.</p>
<p>This is a slightly different question, but if a college specifies that they superscore, will they really only have access to the tests you submit for superscoring? Or will they have access to all my other scores and/or know how many times I have taken it?
For ex, if somebody takes the SAT 5 times and submits 2 for superscoring, will they know that a)he or she has taken it 5 times or b)he or she performed badly on the other 3 times?</p>
