<p>For schools that superscore, it will help you because they take your best score from each SAT section over several test sittings to come up with your SUPERscore. You may have scored 2000 and 2050 on individual test dates, but by taking your highest scores from each section to determine your SAT score for admissions purposes, you might have a 2150. It just depends on whether you ace a different section on each test date. You do have to be aware that some schools may frown on taking the SAT more than three times. I remember reading that somewhere on one of the Admissions sites for a top school.</p>

<p>Example:
Test date 1: 500, 600, 700.
Test date 2: 700, 800, 600.
Superscore=700+800+700=2200.</p>

<p>-It will only help your college chances-</p>

<p>Not only does superscoring help with admissions, but it also may help with getting merit aid. Agree though that being a career test taker will likely not help.</p>
