College Discussion - View Single Post - do most universities 'superscore' SAT and ACT results when considering an applicant?

My child is afraid to 'risk' her 800 reading score by retaking the SAT.

I think that's foolish--she could improve her math by studying this time, and her writing score would also improve as she has been doing some intense writing as a hobby for the last several months. I then mentioned superscoring to her, but now I just read that superscoring may just be done at a few private LACs?

I personally think she'd be better off retaking after some studying, and let the chips fall where they may.
