superscoring?

<p>Does Uni of Pennsylvania superscore the SAT? meaning they take the best score from each section during mutiple sittings.</p>

<p>They see all your SAT scores, and they'll consider all of your SAT scores.</p>

<p>I think the question you pose would really only matter that much at a school that uses a very formulaic, numbers based admission system.</p>

<p>They do see all of your scores, but they're really just supposed to consider the best ones. So yes, they do superscore.</p>

<p>Man, seems like every forum I go to about a college, you've posted this thread =P</p>

<p>yup, I'm really trying to find out, because I'm seeing if I should retake it.</p>

<p>But a high score will be a lot more impressive if you get it on your first try, rather than if you've taken it 5 times and they have to combine scores from three different sittings.</p>

<p>Penn considers your best scores section by section (that is, it superscores), as can be verified on the Penn Web site. </p>

<p>Penn is like the colleges it travels with in the Exploring College Options joint information sessions in considering a student's best scores for admission purposes. </p>
