| Superscoring on the SAT (and ACT?)
My daughter got 800 on SAT critical reading the first time she took it, and so doesn't want to re-take it as she fears her score will drop.
She needs to retake it, she definitely needs to study for the math to improve in math, as well as to retake the writing.
I told her that colleges super-score her SAT test results, such that they look at her top scores in each of the 3 areas. Thus, retaking it won't jeopardize her reading score, but instead will only help--if she does in fact improve in writing or math.
Isn't superscoring being done at most or all unversities these days? I thought I read that somewhere.
