*does it make sense to have the GC letter mention that a score was earned in a single sitting, without prep? *

Well if that is what you want your GC to mention- in my experience, GCs will emphasize whatever you want.
I don’t know how relevant it would be to illustrating how much they can get out of college though.
Some schools are deemphasizing test scores, and looking for other attributes that contribute to a well rounded class ( note I didn’t say well rounded applicant)
Although certainly you could argue that someone who doesn’t study for tests and sits down and gets 100% is part of a well rounded class.
( as are the students who don’t test well, but make great contributions to class discussions)
