My daughter is hoping to superscore between the digital and paper version of the SAT. I do not see this specific information listed for the colleges she is interested in, with the exception of Binghampton.
Their site states:
“For students wishing to submit scores, Binghamton will combine the highest section scores from multiple administrations of the SAT (must be the same version) and from multiple administrations of the ACT. Binghamton will not combine scores from the SAT and ACT. Note: Students who self-report can submit multiple test dates; do not self-report a superscore.”
Does “same version” indicate paper and digital? I’m assuming most colleges allow superscoring (unless otherwise indicated) between the two versions unless noted. Is this a correct assumption?
Also, when you self-report scores, are you reporting each test score (both Verbal and Math) from a particular date or the highest score from multiple dates?
Some of my kid’s schools superscored, but I remember that at least one went with the highest one-sitting score submitted and would not superscore. I don’t remember for all of them because kid’s scores were similar enough that it didn’t make much difference which way that they did it.
That’s how I interpret it too. Easy to call admissions and ask, which is what your kid can do at all schools that don’t make their superscoring policy between digital and paper versions clear.
On common app, you report the highest composite and section scores, so if that’s across multiple sittings, that’s what you report.
FWIW, I’m interpreting “same version” as post-2016 changes. iym unaware of a single university that doesn’t superscore across paper and digital, if they superscore at all
But 2016 is now in the distant past, and aside from a small number kids taking the SAT at a very young age for talent searches (and then typically well past 2016), there won’t be any pre-2016 scores to consider.
There could be applicants that have taken gap years and/or transferring. But agreed there won’t be many people it applies to. I am also not looking into the wayback machine to find when the page was last updated, which was why I suggested that the OP ask the university.
