How Do UCs Calculate/Use/Report SAT Scores?

I have many questions about how the UCs calculate, use and report SAT scores. For example:

I know UCs require that all SAT scores be reported, however, do they “super score” internally, do they use the single highest sitting, or some combination/average?

When they publish SAT scores for the freshman class, do they super score, or do they use single best sitting, or some other algorithm such as an average?

Is writing as important as CR/Math?

Does each UC use the same process for admissions/reporting of SAT scores, or does it vary by school?

I have not seen this information on any of the UC sites – does anyone have definitive information on this?
