<p>Hola y'all.</p>
<p>So I have taken the SAT three times, and here are the breakdowns for each of the performances:</p>
<p>1st time: 1740 (530 CR, 680 M, 530 W, essay 6)
2nd time: 2210 (760 CR, 700 M, 750 W, essay 12)
3rd time: 2350 (750 CR, 800 M, 800 W, essay 11)</p>
<p>I'm mainly applying to prestigious schools so I'm given the option of superscoring at several of these colleges. However, I do not know if the superscoring makes any sense with the tiny differential between my 3rd score and my superscored score. </p>
<p>Is there really nothing to lose by submitting my 2nd and 3rd--and even my 1st--sitting. Does anyone have any advice on what protocol I should take with submitting scores?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>If the school allows Score Choice, submit the second and third scores; otherwise, submit all three scores.</p>
<p>johnstucky, thank you!</p>
<p>May I please have some rationale though?</p>
<p>That’s an amazing improvement from each test to the next. I don’t know how you managed that, but I’m impressed.</p>
<p>You did so well, why sell yourself short out of points? Just send your last two scores. Everyone takes multiple tests anymore, so sending just one won’t really make a statement. If money is an issue that don’t bother with sending two, but otherwise go for it.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! I think that’s what I’ll do: send my last two. However, is there no worth in sending the first one to show this, as you said, amazing improvement?</p>
<p>KanyeNorth,</p>
<p>Unfortunately no. Admissions offices use the SAT to determine intellectual ability. That’s why they superscore, so you can showcase your best parts from different tests. They want to see what you CAN do, not what you DID do on one single test.</p>
<p>That’s why there’s no use sending the first test if your others far surpass it. They won’t look at a lower score or take the time to notice any trend. If admissions offices were impressed by drastic improvements, everyone would bomb their first try and then ace their next. Unfortunately that’s not the way it works. Nice thought though haha</p>
