superscoring

<p>when i went to the summer tour or whatever of pitt, i asked one of the people on the adcom about SAT and ACT scores. now, she told me that they take best math and reading from either your ACT or SAT. In other words, if i got like a 36 in math ACT and a 800 on the SAT reading, they would combine them</p>

<p>does this sound a littttlleee too lenient or is this true?
does anyone know?</p>

<p>edit: only reason im asking is because i'm at a 31.25 on my ACTs and one more point would bring me to a 32. my math was really high but my reading a bit lower than my SAT</p>

<p>um, i don't think they combine scores from two completely different tests... i think they just superscore the sat cr/m sections (if i remember correctly-and i might not-they don't superscore the act).</p>

<p>they do that for two different scores from the same test, not different tests.</p>

<p>example-</p>

<p>1st time sat 1 - Math you get a 650, English you get a 450</p>

<p>2nd time sat 1 - Math you get a 450, English you get 650</p>

<p>they will take the math score of 650 and english score of 650.</p>

<p>this is what I remember being said too....even made a note about it on the admissions folder they gave me</p>

<p>which one studentathlete, what others are saying or what my original post said?</p>

<p>what surf said is correct, what you said is not.</p>
