Well, really happy here. Got a 2340 in one-sitting.
Critical Reading: 760
Math: 780
Writing: 800
So I won’t be using my previous SAT exam I took in November. Best of luck to all taking it in January!
@SATPREP1998 That is an amazing score! Congratulations! A few questions if you don’t mind … What practice material did you use? And how did you schedule your practice? 
@cornellaspirant even if less people apply with act, the numbers still say that the 25% of applicants who gave sat scores have above 2350 score while the top 25% act accepted students have above 34
it doesn’t make sense to me
October SAT: 800 writing (80/80 MC, 10 essay), 740 math, 750 critical reading - 2290 overall
December SAT: 690 writing (70/80 MC, 8 essay), 800 math, 800 critical reading - 2290 overall
my super score is now a 2400
Is it worth asking college board to regrade my essay? I came out of the test pretty sure that I did better than my october essay, even thinking i would probably get an 11. Will collegeboard reread my essay? I’m happy with my superscore but really wish writing didn’t drop so much.
I am aiming for the ivies/top colleges just fyi
thank you! 
Definitely not. Nothing to gain at all, @airvball123
@airvball123 not all schools superscore. I think most top schools would consider your score of 2290 on both instead of 2400 superscore.
actually i really doubt any school would consider a 2400 superscore when the individual scores before were so much lower
@marvin100 would collegeboard actually regrade my essay though?
@hilariousbanana A very large amount of schools superscore. For many, the admissions committee would only get to see the highest sub scores. All private schools that I can think of (atm) superscore, and the only schools I can think of that don’t are the Ucs.
I’ve never known a student to get an increased essay score. I’m not saying it can’t happen, just that I’ve never seen it.
Thanks for the responses but does anyone else know if there is any way for collegeboard to actually regrade my essay? Thanks!
you are right @ambitionsquared most schools superscore. But I know some top schools like Stanford, Yale, Cornell just off the top of my head don’t. Research into what schools superscore and what schools don’t is a smart idea. However, I still seriously doubt that schools that superscore will really see a student with a 2330 superscore after taking it multiple times as “higher” theoretically than a student that only took it once and received a 2320.
@airvball123 don’t expect colleges to see you as a SAT perfect score student.
@hilariousbanana What? No. Stanford, Yale, and Cornell all superscore the SAT.
@hilariousbanana But they will…
Colleges that superscore only care about your highest score in each section and they want to boost their numbers so he is considered an “SAT perfect score student”. Not as impressive as a 2400 single sitting but still a 2400 nonetheless.
@hilariousbanana For many schools, a 2400 single sitting is the same as 2400 superscored because the admissions committee only sees the highest subscores. If it took me 10 tries to get 2400 superscored and if it took my friend 1 try to get 2380, my score would be the more “impressive” one. Also, you should do some more research before making allegations, as you’re incorrect about all 3 of the schools you referenced. Imo, that’s kind of ridiculous to put down @airvball123 with “Don’t expect colleges to see you as a perfect score student” considering his impressive standardized testing accomplishments.
I’m so mad right now…I checked my score report today and for CR I missed 4 and ommited 2…on a normal day that’s a 700 but collegeboard decided to make it a 680 (THERES A 5% CHANCES OF THAT)…I would’ve had a single sitting 2300 had it been a normal curve
Does the college board ever make grading mistakes? I got a 620 CR with only 11 wrong…
@annoyingorange I don’t think so, but I know as a fact that as of late, the curves (on CR at least) are getting increasingly harsh
I got an 800 CR even though I missed two. I got 4 wrong and omitted 2 on math and got a 690 and I got four wrong on writing with a 10 on the essay and received a 710 on writing. Does anyone know how they calculate the multiple choice score out of 80? If 4 wrong is a 68 then what is a 70 etc? Thanks.
