<p>you should assume that nearly all published scores for the SAT are superscored. </p>
<p>Hunt: I understand the psychological aspect of your pov, but I really believe that once all of the scores are above 750 adcoms really don’t care (ignoring the tech-science schools where 800 Math is de rigeur). While an 800 is impressive, statistically, it is the same as a 770; the difference between an 800 math and a 770 is one stinkin’ bubble, which could just be that the solution was correct but the bubble was filled-in incorrectlyto be read by the machine. Also, a significant score the second time around could just mean that the student had a bad day on the first sitting – prom night and/or football game night prior, family illness, parent’s divorce, all kinds of reasons. OTOH, a 240/2400 Sophomore fall would impress the heck out of me.</p>
