<p>So... Did I get this right. </p>
<p>Imagine I take three SAT tests. In the first one, I did CR: 460, M:510, W: 440.
Second one, CR: 570 M: 550 W: 370
Third one, CR: 410 M: 550 W:550</p>
<p>With superscore, is my resultant SAT: CR: 570, M: 550, W: 550 ?
I mean, do colleges take the highest of all the sections in each SAT you took and combine them as one SAT score?</p>
<p>You would be correct about the resulting superscore in this situation. </p>
<p>However, be aware that not all colleges superscore the SATs. Many colleges will only look at the highest SAT you took in <em>one</em> sitting. In this case, they would only look at your last score, the 1510.</p>
<p>Wow… I never knew that about SATs. Then, I can just skip the whole math section in the next test and focus on the others… :O</p>
<p>Haha you could, I suppose. I’m not sure how colleges would react to such a decision though. It’s risky.</p>
<p>lol 
How about ACTS? I’ve never even heard of that before. should I take that since it might seem easier?</p>
<p>The ACT is different than the SAT entirely. It can be used as a substitute for the SAT. It contains 4 sections: Math, Science, English, and Reading. There is also an optional essay (beware, some colleges require that you do this optional essay).</p>
<p>It all depends on the person - some perform better on the SAT, some better on the ACT. Personally, my ACT scores are much much higher than my SATs. The SAT is out of 2400, while the ACT is out of 36.</p>
