Superscoring SAT on College Board – is it possible?

So I've taken the SAT multiple times, and I'm hoping to superscore my results. I've heard that some colleges allow this, but can I actually superscore my SAT directly through College Board? If not, how can I ensure my best scores from each section are considered during the admissions process?

Unfortunately, you cannot superscore your SAT directly through the College Board. Superscoring is done by the colleges themselves, and each college has its own policy on whether they superscore or not. Superscoring refers to the process where a college considers your highest section scores from different test dates when reviewing your application rather than just looking at a single test date.

To ensure your best scores from each section are considered, you should do the following:

1. Research the schools you're interested in and check their SAT score use policies. You can find this information on the schools' admissions websites. If a college superscores the SAT, you can be confident that they will consider your highest section scores from different test dates.

2. To figure out your superscore, look at your scores from your different test dates and identify the highest score you've earned on each section. Add these scores together to find your SAT superscore.

3. Self-report your highest section scores when you're completing your college applications. Most colleges will allow you to self-report your standardized test scores on the application, and it's in this section you should report your highest section scores from different test dates separately. If the college requires official score reports, make sure to send them from each SAT test date where you earned your highest section scores.

4. If a college requires official score reports, be aware that they'll receive your full testing history. However, don't worry: if the college superscores, they will still focus on your highest section scores when evaluating your application.

Superscoring is a common practice among colleges, but make sure to do your due diligence and understand each school's policy to ensure your best scores are considered during the admissions process.
