Hi everyone, this is my first post so bear with me. I am hoping someone could lay out for me how SAT score reporting works. For example: SAT test #1: 560 math, 700 verbal. SAT test # 2: 620 math, 680 verbal. For a college that allows self-reporting and superscores, is the student able to report only the 700 verbal, 620 math, and nothing else? Does this have to be a “score choice” school? Any other helpful info about how these puzzle pieces fit is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Some schools simply superscore, so you report each highest section. You do list the date of each test/section. And that’s all the school sees.
Other schools will superscore but use score choice. This means they get the full score data from each date. This means if you take the test 4x you only have to submit the two that you need for the superscore. The school will see your low section and disregard.
Other schools (namely Georgetown) require every test be submitted but will also superscore for consideration.
Thank you for your response. So if the student takes the test four times, and the school does superscore but does not do score choice, can the student submit, for example, verbal from test #1 and math from test #4 and nothing else (assuming it’s not Georgetown or another school that says you must submit all scores)? Thanks.
Yes. But Princeton, for example, has Score Choice, so you must submit full scores for #1 and #4 and they will consider the highest in each. I think Yale is effectively the same.
