<p>Do Ivies and their equivalents see how many times you took the SATI? Do they generally superscore? Hoping for facts, not conjectures… as in ppl who actually contacted colleges about this.</p>

<p>And does a student who got 2350 the first time (assuming a college that doesn’t superscore/ ignore number of tries) have an advantage over a student who, say, took it once, got 1900, took it a second time, got 2200, took it again, and got 2350?</p>

<p>Yes, they see how many times you took the test and all of your SAT scores. To see how they use those scores, go here: <a href=“http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/sat_survey.htm[/url]”>http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/sat_survey.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>We called all of the schools on the list about 2 months ago…</p>

<p>Wow, I had no idea that most colleges combine the highest individual math, reading, and writing scores from multiple tests. I thought they take the highest single test administration…</p>

<p>wow, the ucs don’t do that though</p>

<p>Taking the test multiple times is OK. My son goes to Michigan State and they used the highest individual scores for placement in classes even though MSU used only the highest combined test score for admission.</p>
