<p>Guys, I wanted to know is it good to submit all of my sat scores?
I mean, at first I scored 1680, and eventually 2180(between these exams 1870)... what should I do?</p>
<p>If the school doesn’t require all test scores then just send the last.</p>
<p>thank you Erin’s dad…
But I am interested why it is better? I mean, I want someone to advise me what to do, but can you explain, why it is so? I would love to know your opinions.</p>
<p>I agree with ErinsDad, you should send the 2180 SAT score for the following reasons:</p>
<p>-Your last SAT score is ~30% (very significant) improvement from your 1680 score.
-Your last SAT score is ~17% (significant) improvement from your 1870 score.
-Statistically, there might be a slightly better super-score from the last two SATs. However, the 1870 score may show significantly lower section(s) scores compared to your 2180 score.
-Statistically, using the first SAT score may not improve your super-score at all, to the contrary it may just show significantly lower section(s) scores.</p>
<p>If score choice is accepted, I’d just send the last score.</p>
<p>aghaby thank you for your post.
From my first 1680 I increased my score to 1870 , and then to 2180. On every exam my scores were being enhanced in every part of the exam. also, I am an international. What should I do? and what about schools that do not require all scores, but strongly encourage students to submit them?
And can university find out whether I sent it all of my scores if they don’t require submission of all of them?</p>
<p>“What should I do? and what about schools that do not require all scores, but strongly encourage students to submit them?”</p>
<p>I’d send all the scores if only “required” by colleges.
I’d send the highest score if score-choice is allowed even if colleges strongly recommend submitting all scores.</p>
<p>“And can university find out whether I sent it all of my scores if they don’t require submission of all of them?”</p>
<p>There’s no way colleges would try to find out “without the applicant’s knowledge” if you have other test scores that were not sent out to them except through the applicant himself who must send them through CB.</p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about it. Your SAT score is wonderful, however SAT is just one metric among many.</p>
<p>aghaby, I do not actully apply to Yale, but I know one should not take the SAT more than 2 times. So, as you say that it is better to send only higher score, I somehow agree with that. But what about the school, which does not require, but I have a supplemental essay how I improved my score. I mean, should I submit first and last score there?
Also, what’s the point in submiting only highest score, not all of scores? I mean, colleges say that they only consider highest scores. However, many people, icluding you, told me to submit only high score, and I did not completely understand why.</p>
<p>any other ideas? please, tell… tomorrow I have to rush scores, so I wanted to know how to behave…</p>
<p>The only reason I’d only send the highest SATscore if this score was way higher than other test sitting scores which is obviously your case. The rationale behind not sending all scores and only sending the highest score in your case “when colleges say they only consider the highest scores” is not to disclose the low sections scores in your earlier SAT scores. </p>
<p>You have the details of your SAT scores and you can determine if super-scoring would give you any score higher than 2180.</p>
<p>No it would not give…
However, collegeboard sent all of my history everywhere… wHEN i REVIEWED THE SCORES, THERE WAS NOT previous date anywhere… why collegeboard did that? I don’t understand… will it be a disadvantage now? :((( I am so nervous now :(</p>
